Nothing new; nothing bad.By AlexThere werent any reviews for this book; so I decided to take a chance.Im a fan of the Follow Me To instagram account; and personally find the pictures beautiful and inspiring. I expected to see many of the same pictures; but was expecting to perhaps see some new ones that werent posted publicly; as well as to get more background on the pictures; the situations; and the photographer (and muse) themselves. Most of all; I wanted the photographs in a tangible form to pull out; look at; and be inspired anytime I wanted.On the last account Im not disappointed; the book is large and the pictures are the focus inside (one square page is a whole picture; and a whole page of "information" is next to it). I have read criticisms of the photographs themselves online; that they are not high-quality; blurry; over-saturated; etc; and seeing them larger than on an iphone you do tend to notice their faults more. Almost every picture inside the book is available on their instagram account and the information about the photos is sparse (Im talking "This is ____; it was beautiful here. We were moved." being the essential template). I really wish more information was given; possibly a paragraph or two (when it was taken; about the trip; other things about the place; costume choice; etc) instead of the tweet-length blurb provided.All of that being said; I really do like the book. Its inspires me to travel and see the world; and thats exactly why I bought it. If they came out with another one would I buy it? Absolutely. At the end of the day its the concept and the pictures which are the most striking and important!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. but ended up disappointed with the selection chosen to be includedBy TraceyI was excited for this book; but ended up disappointed with the selection chosen to be included. Theres very little variety compared to how many places theyve actually been and photos theyve taken. Also the quality of the photos in the book are not very high. Basically; dont expect this to be a beautiful book of photography or you may be kinda disappointed. Ive created a better quality product with my own vacation photos using shutterfly; so yeah; not sure what happened here0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
