By this point, you may know of a phenomenon called "influencers in the wild." The whole idea is that taking a photo may look crazy and weird, especially in an improvised setting, and that's where the phenomenon comes from. Despite the weird process, the end result still looks beautiful just the same. It's a reminder of a common saying that beauty requires sacrifices.
Halyson kicks it up a notch as he records the process of taking his own photos in the streets, in the wild, or any other setting. He posts his videos of the process on TikTok and publishes the photos on Instagram. Sure, the process itself may look strange, but it's the result that matters. And he has 1.4 million followers on the platform to show for it.
Halyson does these types of photo sessions mostly with up-and-coming models. But he also does them with random passersby. One of his videos where he offers his professional help to a couple even went viral, getting over a million likes in the process. It's all good fun. So if you like what he does, make sure you follow him on his social media linked below.

Wow. Who would have thought that you got this picture of a girl holding a car by getting a girl to hold a cat.

If all the influencers would add a cat to their pictures, they would actually be worth following

These are wonderful, i hope people look at these for ideas-like composition. The color is Achieved through Photoshop. I highly recommend playing around like he does, but don't get frustrated if you can't get the colors he does

Agree, I would have preferred it shot at a higher f-stop.

hahaha, why did they put that match on the left of her? Do you think it was on fire but it blew out?

Love everything about this one except for the plasters / band aids and matches. Maybe I have no taste.

Yeah, not hard to do when you're totally futzing with the colours and also have tools to tell you how close they are.

I like the result but guys, it's not exactly safe to go into derelict places, things may collapse or be infested...take nice pictures but not at any cost.

I wonder how many times that poor woman had to flip her braids so he could get the shot just right. Her poor neck!

Guys are always saying to us females to smile. Like it's our responsibility. I'm not certain if this is the message though.

Nah. Image may be cool but people taking photos in the crosswalk of a busy street are just assholes.

I remember being at a Q&A with the great Bob Carlos Clarke, he was asked how he had arranged to stop the traffic in one of London's famous roads (Kings Road, Chelsea) to take a shot of models and motorbikes in the middle of the road in the middle of the day. Bob just said...we got the girls, we got the bikes ready and I said "f**k it" we ran, stopped the traffic and started shooting the images. Bob you were total class and the world of visual arts is poorer without you!

They're touched up in an editing program. They're not really that bright or that color, you know, right? It makes a pretty picture but it's not real.

He's shooting these images with a DSLR, not an iPhone. He's also editing these with a program like Photoshop. There are no human beings with eyes that color blue. I think people should try these for ideas composition, to play around with. But if you don't have an editing program, or a DSLR like he does or an assistant, don't expect the same results and have fun anyway.

wait, is the mug falling above her!?!? she is gonna get some glass shards. If a break a cup my mum would beat my a**

Likely the hand holding the mug was Photoshopped out. Not too hard to do, especially when you know you're going to do it in advance and hold the mug the right way to minimize your post production work.

Good for him that he cleaned up all that ice cream on him, but I'm not sure wet asphalt is a better alternative.

These are really good. I love how he has enhanced all the colours to make the models' features and the things around them sharper. I mean, all the eyes are so stunning! I know it is down to the colour enhancement but still!
