Alex Strohl: travel shot on film
Alex Strohl photographs roads, mountains and coastlines: Patagonia on a film panorama camera, Greek islands, France's Atlantic coast. A feed that makes you want to go.
What it is
Alex Strohl is a travel and outdoor photographer and one of the best-known names in the genre, with around 1.8 million followers. His bio jokingly calls him a 'professional hobbyist'. Captions range from one line to short stories.
Why we picked it
This is the kind of feed that makes you want to pack a bag. Over the summer and early autumn of 2026 it covered the Greek islands and Zakynthos, France's Atlantic coast, and Patagonia shot on a Hasselblad Xpan II panoramic film camera, which he says is still his favorite film camera ever. In August he told a funny story about climbing a 3,000-meter peak to watch the full moon rise, only for the moon not to show up when he'd planned.
We like the calm, cinematic look with no loud filters, and the fact that there's a real person behind the pictures, with bike trips, long hikes and the occasional miscalculation.
Where to start
- Find the Patagonia frames shot on the Xpan for a great example of a wide film panorama.
- Read the full-moon climbing story; it's short and honest.
- Scroll through the 'Greek dispatch' series from the islands.

Who it's for
