Amazing Post! I am so happy to read the full story behind your job and how you started ๐ do you think it would work now as well? when instagram isn’t that new anymore? ๐ (dont know if that sentance makes sens ๐ hope you understand)
Love from Germany <3
Thank you! yes, I mean I’ve grown from 100,000-1,000,000 in under a year.. its possible. Just have to reallllyyy stand out as its the dream for most people! ๐
But how can I stand out?
I really love taking pictures but I think right now I need this changing point that will let my account grow so that more people can find me (like the point when you started travelling with Jack ๐ ) I don’t want to sound like someone that thinks that it is super important to have many followers but I think its because I am kind of uninspired of my life… I just really want to start travelling but fist I have to finish school ๐
Love from Germany :*
Just want to tell you that you and Jack are my biggest Inspiration, your pictures are on my homework planner and when I sit in school and being bored I look at them and imaging I could be in the sunshine and out exploring ๐
Wow!!! This is so inspiring to read! I am so happy for you guys + so glad that you are able to do what you love while still making bank for it, haha! I wish you guys all the best!!!
Wow, literally a dream come true! How did you contact companies though? Did you have to do it all professionally through email and to the right person or could you do it through social media?
Fantastic article! I love how they detail how you got to where you are today through hard work and sacrifice (such as having to move and leave your job) and how it wasnโt just a stroke of luck. This also really sums up the authenticity of what you do. Such a great insight into your business! http://www.thegingerpassports.com
You two live the dream life! Love looking at your photos on Instagram, they always inspire me to get outside with my own camera and take wonderful travel photos
That is an amazing story in which you love to live! I would like to learn what kind of equipments are you using for taking photographs. It is so hard to catch the light but at the same time it is also hard to show the light you were experiencing.
I love that you guys achieved the dream life by just doing what you love and working hard. You really made something of yourselves and I love your Instagram’s SO much! You guys are Truly inspirational for me! http://www.traveleatrecord.com
You said that brands / companies contact you. How do you instigate that. Do you research then than #hashtag them and wait. Im very curious about the process. You guys are amazing. I check your insta every day.
Hey, no I never had to do that. I guess by my imagery, it spoke for itself, its not just about contacting them and asking to work with you, its them wanting to work with you. If your imagery is unique and has something special to it, you’ll gain followers and get noticed by companies and thats how I got work in the beginning!
Thanks
I love travelling…..And you are so inspirational….. Please help me and guide me for career please …….you are my role model ….I want to do my career in traveling ….I need your help
What an inspiring article! Now I know that you didn’t achieve this overnight. I have been travelling quite a bit as well and just started to realise last year that maybe I can start posting my photos to instagram and grow my influence. But currently I only have about 5800 followers! Lol. Hopefully I can achieve my dream the way you do! Thanks!
been following both of you on Instagram, but haven’t checked out your blog before! it was really interesting to read how you both got into it ๐ very inspiring ๐
Totally loving this! My partner and I are very inspired by your work and how far you have gone, as we hope for a life travelling too, but to create something at the time.
Btw, guys, does it bother you when businesses take your pics to showcase for themselves without giving you credit?
I’ve seen twice how a business in my island has done it and is very annoying even if they are not my pics :/
Such an inspiring story . Wish I can travel like u around the world n Enjoy what I really like to do๐ good luck To you guys for upcoming adventures .
Such an inspiration to read this, even i am passionate about travel & photography, hope down the lane even i can get this opportunity of live this dream.
Cheers guys.
Hello Lauren.
You inspires everyone.
A truly influencer.
I love your pictures and writings.
If one day I meet you and greet you, I hope you’ll greet me back โบ๏ธ
I’m sixteen and have a dream of traveling the world. Your story and all the places you travel make it seem possible for me to adventure. It’s my dream to travel and not have to worry about money. I don’t know how I’ll do it, but I know that I’m going to try thanks to you and your encouraging story.
This is inspiring! While i do follow you, i did not feel entirely inspired as i didnt know your back story of how you started. I would love to see how your pictures have developed in the time as you have learned more about photographing and edits.
Were you always Gypsea Lust on IG?
So very inspiring! You’ve done incredibly things with your career, your images are so beautiful X
Thanks!! ๐
