My weekly square posts will take a slightly different turn this week, as it features an instagram collective rather than a single photographer. Owner Alex Martin has successfully turned @Wilderness_Culture into one of instagram’s fastest going (guess work) and inspiring outdoor-themed feeds over the past 12 months.
