What is an instawalk you ask?
Virtualinstawalk was first created by Jenny @lowf about a year ago. Her ideas was, since many photographers can’t meet up for instameets and instawalks in real life, why not still have a day where they could do a photowalk and share it with others on Instagram! Join us February 23rd and 24th for our next walk.
How to play along:
• Walk • Shoot • Grid • Edit • Post •
The grid idea started with people taking screenshots of their camera roll to give an overview of their walk and has now evolved into beautiful collages. The tag was just #virtualinstawalk for the first walk then they started adding numbers to separate the walks from each other. At the tenth Virtual Instawalk it was decided that the tag should be shortened to just #viw then the number.
Below is a map that shows all the locations of instawalkers around the world.
Meet the photographers behind this great idea
The @Virtualinstawalk profile was created by @amudays and is managed by @leftcoastadventures, @gromitmagick, @chik_pea and @fooferann
Rhea (@gromitmagick) lives in Airlie Beach, a small town on the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia. She mostly shoot her daily life so her feed is full of pics of her son, Felix, and her town. She also love capturing sunsets and macros. She has grown up around photography and owned cameras for years, but mobile photography has changed it from something for special occasions into something that is a part of her everyday life. Mobile photography has also introduced her to editing, which facilitates a whole extra side of creativity.
Kris (@leftcoastadventures) was born and raised in Southeast Alaska and moved to Southern Oregon 2 ½ years ago! Photography has always been a huge part of her. I love exploring and taking pictures just goes hand in hand with her adventures. She shoots a lot of outdoor pictures and close up nature shots. She feels like Instagram has changed the way she explore and see things in a different perspective. She never imaged that she would be laying on the ground getting the perfect shot of a dandelion or getting the real close to a rain drops on the grass.
Vicki (@chik_pea) lives in the beautiful decay that is Birmingham, Alabama. She loves to shoot photos of her adopted city. It’s all there – natural beauty, fab architecture, sweet industrial sites and living museums like Sloss Furnaces.
