Daniel Kordan has a clear eye for photography that shows off the size, scope, and beauty of nature. This includes some vibrant night, sunset and landscape photography. His photo editing style is unusual and straddles the line between reality and otherworldly.

There are a couple of things that stand out about Landlopers Instagram that will inspire your wanderlust. First, the photos. Matt Long, the brains behind Landlopers, is an excellent photographer with a distinctive style.
