The statistics are in! We've compiled a list of our 5 most popular blog posts from 2014 according to Google Analytics. There are many reasons which make a blog post gain a wider readership than others, but we think one reason in particular makes a huge difference - social media sharing. The following photographers all have different followings (some very large, others a lot smaller), but the numbers don't really matter! The one thing all of these photographers have in common is that they promoted their features quite heavily through their social media, websites etc. and as a result, they're now one of our top 5 most popular blog posts of the year - Congratulations! :)

1. Featured Photographer: Achraf Baznani

Congratulations to the very talented Achraf Baznani as his blog post was the most viewed feature on the Whim website during 2014. Looking at his impressive, eye-catching and surrealist images we're sure it comes as no surprise that Achraf has taken out the top spot on this list. Check out his full feature here to see what all of the fuss is about!
