Graphic designer Azlif Mohamed (@axlif) lives in the Maldives, the world's lowest-lying country: 99% of the country is covered by water and only 1% is land. For Azlif, Instagram is a tool to share and see parts of the world outside of his tiny home country. He started using Instagram in 2011 while studying in Bristol, England. "Since then, it's become very much part of my life. A daily creative practice and a place to discover," he says.

Azlif's favorite people to follow on Instagram share natural scenes that look very different from the ones he sees each day. "Some of my favorite Instagrammers shoot the great outdoors," he says. "Alex Strohl (@Alex Strohl) of Vancouver, Canada, and Finn Beales (@finn) of the Black Mountains, Wales, are both great photographers. I love the diverse range of scenes they capture with perfect composition, tone and narrative." Azlif also likes to tune into California beach life. "I recently discovered Pete Halvorsen (@Pete Halvorsen) who captures life in Manhattan Beach. It's always refreshing to see different beach cultures in faraway places." In addition to sense of place, Azlif looks for personality in the people he follows. "I love following people who seem humble and genuinely interested in what they capture and choose to share," he says. With Pete for instance, Azlif says he "can always feel the rawness and authenticity in his videos and photos." To tune into the great outdoors around the world, be sure to follow @axlif and his favorites @finn, @Alex Strohl and @Pete Halvorsen.
