548Kviews
When we talk about Instagram followers, we don't mean it in the literal sense. Well, not usually anyway. But as Instagram-famous travel photographers Jack Morris and Lauren Bullen have recently discovered, two of their collective 2 million plus followers are quite literally chasing them around the world and recreating their poses wherever they go.
Not only do this mysterious couple pose in the same locations as Jack and Lauren; they also copy their composition, their clothing, and sometimes even their captions! It's one thing to be inspired, but these guys are taking it to a whole new level. "Having a large instagram following does come with some interesting experiences," wrote Lauren in an article on her blog recently. "But this has been by far the most odd one yet."

They should know that Greece is not the home of pizza and ice cream. Just saying.
Beautiful setting but that outfit is absolutely inappropriate for visiting a medersa
I don't understand the appeal of self-induced wedgies. Beautiful setting, though.
Someone has been having a lot of work, while having fun. As for the photos themselves, they are incredibly cliché. Don´t take me wrong, but all of them look incredibly planed
I think it's fine for photos to be planed and composed carefully (unlike the other reply I do think photography is an art and great photos are most often planned). But totally with you on the cliche. It's so boring! I think the copycat account illustrates how unoriginal the first account is. Travel photos should be pictures of places, not pictures of half naked people.
But i totally agree with you. Planing got the world great photos, but planing of the right moment, in the right scenery. In this situation, while being amazing places, everything is so....instagram-ish. Don´t really have the genuine look that often make a pic amazing
it's because they really are planed .. bimbos of course .. bimbos of internet..
Planned, or composed, photos are what make photos "art"... or as much art as photos can be. As an artist, I do a lot of photography, but... personally I don't consider photography to be an art. Which isn't meant to denigrate photography or photographers, nor claim that photos can't touch people emotionally.
no artist would star a sentence with "as an artist...".
At first, I thought like Caitlyn McCracken the "followers" make fun of the originals, like a real life parody. But then, this must take so much dedication and effort. Thinking how social media works nowadayys, I am wondering if they probably know each other and this is a deliberate coup.
I think this is a hoax. I believe the original posters are completely in on this, to generate gossip, drama and hype surrounding their instagram account in order to get more attention and followers.
It prolly is. Orrrr its just some really skilled stalkers at work, trolling away :D
