Our passion lies in adventure photography. If you give us a chance, we'll be out in the wilderness with no questions asked. Chanel and myself grew up in a Johannesburg, which is a massive urban area and the thought of exploring the outdoors has always appealed to us. At the beginning of the year we quit our jobs to explore the globe - we are in search of big skies and deep lakes, and we want to inspire you to do the same.
It's almost impossible to follow every epic account on Instagram, but we have trawled through countless profiles to bring you the best of 'adventure photography,' including landscape, wildlife, surf and outdoor lifestyle. If your blood runs thick with adventure, but your feed is filled with too many duck-faced teenagers, then have a look at the inspiring list below.

Authors note: We tried to keep the feature-only pages to a minimum, because there are a lot out there, and most are sharing the same content. The ones that have appeared on our list are in our view the best, and are not "pay-for-features" pages, (as far as we know).
Then two outdoor explorers worth a special mention - my gorgeous girlfriend and I ;) We try capture a mix of lifestyle and outdoor photography from our travels.
If we have left some of your favourite adventure photography profiles off the list, let us know about them in the comments section below.
