Photos and story by @das.museltier : “These two photos were taken a couple weeks ago. I don’t see @mr.jn96 very often, yet he is one of the most astonishing people I know. Not only do I admire his mental strength and the way he lives his life but the biggest gift for me is his way to work with me. I’m on the beginning of my journey to become a photographer and it´s kind of difficult to figure out how to treat people in a way that produces honest pictures. I shoot many of my friends regularly but he is different. When I shoot with him it’s not like he has any kind of expectations I have to fill. Neither do I have to tell him where to move and how to act. But the most important thing is, that the expectations I have on myself are totally blown away too. This doesn’t sound like very much but I’m the kind of guy who is satisfied with his work for like 2 hours and after that I could toss it in the trash. For that kind of friendship I wanna thank him in a thousand ways.” (Presented by @mattallen ) || #PostThePeople

Photo and story by @nicolegotkophoto : “This is a photo taken of my cousin, Ava - for her senior photos. We were in a park in my hometown when we saw these giant pink flowers. This photo was inspired by another photo I took of my friend Brooke a few years ago with a sunflower. Ava has gorgeous blue gray eyes and I thought this was a great way to highlight that. She is such a sweet soul, I am so proud of her, and I was thrilled to showcase her beauty that shines inside out! It was fun to recreate a shot from when I was just starting out. I am a wedding + lifestyle photographer who works mostly with couples so this whole shoot was a breath of fresh air.” (Presented by @mattallen ) || #PostThePeople

Photo by @georgeguy008 , story by @grace_cramer.png : “My fiancé and I took a little trip to a local orchard near Indianapolis for a Saturday date to see the sunflowers before they’re gone for the year. I brought my camera along so we could take some fun photos, and this one was my favorite. I like how I’m slightly hidden, because I feel like it suggests a kind of shyness and a desire to be surrounded by nature. The field of sunflowers was enormous, and it was a lot of fun just getting lost in them. We can’t wait to go back next year.” (Presented by @mattallen ) || #PostThePeople

Photo and story by @camm_eng : “My friend, Chloe (@chloe.chapdelaine ) and I took a trip out to Washington and stopped in Bellingham to meet up with Ryan (@westwardeast ). After some coffee and chats, we took off to Mount Baker for the first time to explore the moody PNW mountains. It definitely lived up to the hype, to say the least. PNW at its finest from the low hanging clouds, to the fresh mountain air, and misty atmosphere. The winding switchback roads were empty and we couldn't resist going for a little shred while taking photos of each other. A great start to an epic road trip!” (Presented by @mattallen ) || #PostThePeople

Photo and story by @jessica.juniper : ““Awwww yeah! Show that photo to everyone. Tell ‘em it’s Dallas. Dallas from Dallas. Matter fact, let me pose again for you.” I met Dallas in downtown Phoenix. Every other weekend, a local church brings an airstream and a shower trailer to a neighborhood with a heavily concentrated homeless population. We hand out clothes, wash & cut hair, give snow cones, and listen to stories. The goal is to live out the love of Jesus by serving and building relationships. As with most ministry situations, it winds up changing lives on both ends. It brings help and hope, but also brings awareness and humility. I occasionally bring my camera with me, and I happened to have it around my neck when I met Dallas. He asked me to photograph him, print it out, and bring it to him in a couple weeks so he can send it to his mom. When it comes to street photography, we so often take photos, but we rarely give photos. So I try to remember to circle back to those who’ve stood in front of my camera. Many people on the streets don’t own any photos of themselves, so it holds more meaning than we realize. Photographs can bring life, hope, and a recognition of shared humanity. Shoutout to Dallas for the reminder.” (Presented by @mattallen ) || #PostThePeople

Photo and story by @bethssolano : “Kansas City, MO is home to a stunning city scape and amazing rooftops. I recently did a mentor session with the incredibly talented @kaleyfromkansas in order to be refreshed in my craft and work alongside someone who loves to get just as funky with photos as I do! The vision behind it was a vintage western vibe (styled by @elizabohannon ). Creating an atmosphere where we felt like we stepped back in time with the amazing vintage patterns of the clothes, allowed for us to use the simple backdrop of the white rooftop in a beautiful way.” (Presented by @mattallen ) || #PostThePeople

Photo and story by @thesmithbrian : “The in-between moments typically create the most memorable images when I photograph portraits and fashion. The moments of subtle chaos between movement commands seem to convey the most feeling and emotion. Lauren's hair fell perfectly on her face, mid shake, and I directed her to pause. The result was dramatic, vogue worthy beauty atop the wind swept dunes of Sleeping Bear in Northern Michigan. Model: @lauren_elaine23 ” (Presented by @mattallen ) || #PostThePeople

Photo and story by @chngsenn : “Me and my friend had a mini photo walk around Penang Georgetown and just explored around. This architecture popped up in the middle of our way and we had some ideas on it. We never thought the result would come out this good. This composition was inspired by a photo that was taken in Hong Kong. We always try to promote our hometown to international and I hope this is the chance to get more awesome people from all around the world visit our hometown.
