This Couple Makes Up To $9000 Per Instagram Photo While Traveling, And Here’s How They Do It
1.8Mviews
Jack Morris and Lauren Bullen have been living what most people on Instagram would call “life goals” since they met in Fiji last year. Not only do they spend their days documenting their world travels with flawless photos, they get paid up to $9000 USD for each one they post.
With Jack now at 2 million Instagram followers, and Lauren close behind with 1.2 million, the couple now makes enough money from the brands and tourism companies that sponsor them to fully supplement regular adventures around the globe, as well as a home base in Bali. In a Q&A recently posted to his official website, DoYouTravel, Jack shared a few tips that helped propel him and Lauren to Insta-fame, and you may want to take notes.
“I edit all my photos in the same kind of style with my own lightroom presets,” he said of their dreamy ‘matching’ effect. He also added that the couple mostly shoots around 1 hour after sunrise, since that tends to be the quietest time of day. The couple reportedly won’t take less than $3000 USD for a post.
Read Jack’s full Q&A here, though be warned – it just might make your dayjob a little harder to get through.

I wish Bored Panda would stop sucking up to the nouveau riche of Instagram.
Instead of saying "What are they doing that I too can use in order to make a good living", why are so many expressing outrage and jealousy of someone who has used successful entrepreneurship? If they have a few tricks that set them apart, I would think anyone would rather learn how to emulate them and also be successful. I just don't understand this animus toward success.
I am not jealous or outraged. I just think Bored Panda has a lot of good content and this is not it. I would rather read about people giving water to giant cobras, people nursing horrifyingly disfigured cats back to health, artists making amazing glass sculptures, etc. Those are the people I envy and admire for the opportunities and talents they have, not these clowns. This couple makes money by promoting products and locations. They can do this because they also promote themselves (they are "influencers"). This article is essentially an advertisement for people who make a living off advertisements. I hope Bored Panda got paid for it...
John L, "your last sentence clearly shows that you are jealous of their success" no, it doesn't. I was trying to be nice and explain to you what my problem is with this article but I guess you are more interested in projecting than understanding. Have a nice day!
no kidding. I am so happy when others succeed and live their dream. Some people are just too lazy and hateful. Use the energy to live the life you want.
Go put there and get it. It's about what you say. When you say it and to who say it to. That's the secret
Good living ?? go the HELL really the mostly of people on the world cant get it neither a glass of water and you are saying a good living?
Caitlyn, If I was young and had their live, I would be having a blast. And getting paid for it too. Fortunately, I've been almost all over the planet, as an army brat and military service, so I have been to too many places to shake a stick at. I'm tired of running around all over the place. But there are so many interesting things to see, unique people to meet, and wonderful things to do. I envy them, but I don't resent them their good fortune.

HP, your last sentence clearly shows that you are jealous of their success. Wall-to-Wall helping of dogs or cats, or whatever becomes boring after a while. Besides, if you don't want to look at it, you have the Liberty not to have to. But what you are not understanding is that someone has gotten in on the business of "Supply and Demand" when it comes to exotic places and life doing such. They are doing something right to be successful. Why not take the time and study up in order to find out what they are doing, and perhaps you too can enjoy what they are doing. You are sounding like a typical Progressive, who doesn't have something and certainly doesn't want anyone to have better luck. We all have things that we can use to further ourselves financially. We just don't tend to recognize it. Think positive, ok? Bless you.
Oh, yes please!

First, I thought it was joke-the whole article about their "life", and money which they mention in "btw-tone". And now, I'm just gonna say something that I never ever expecting to say on BPanda. In my whole life I haven't seen this amount of crappy, shity, selfish poop in one place. What are they? Except being on the major ego-trip? They are so special, what about again? I can't even comprehend what do they know, and where *this-whatever it is* is going. I'm still not sure if I find myself in some kind of parallel universe, or anything that could explain all of this. I'll take anything!
I think they are made up by a collective subconscious frivolity. I find those pictures easy to masturbate to. Nice pics though. :-D
they are from same parallel universe as Kardashians lol
You're stuck up, suffer from an array of complexes and hate and with a broken childhood. That basically explains your view of the situation quite accurately. Would you take that explanation?
I think the whole article is fake. Take a closer look at some of the photos.
Dream! Maybe it's one of those dreams

Where is this hostility, jealousy and anger coming from? Is your life that bad?
Most of their photos he is shirtless and she is wearing a bikini. Proving again that sex sells. If they were both overweight but living this kind of life, they would have a dozen followers, mostly negative body shaming comments, and zero companies willing to pay them to travel. They don't make money because of their travel and some kind of lifestyle people dream of, they make money selling their bodies. Which is fine. I have no problem with that, but their sponsorship would dwindle if they kept their clothes on.
