This social media platform has opened up a whole new realm for individuals to take a photograph, apply copious edits and filters to it, and pinpoint exactly how to design the post to appeal to their audience. Although witnessing a beautifully crafted photo can leave a long-lasting impression on a viewer, the behind-the-scenes work can leave the entire concept looking quite deceiving. Let’s face it, photo editing has allowed us to drastically modify the appearance of both ourselves as well as objects around us — creating a false sense of perfection and beauty to the untrained eye. Thailand-based photographer Chompoo Baritone studied what goes on behind the scenes of the Instagram world, showcasing these awe-inspiring insights within the not-so-perfect world of Instagram. Let’s take a closer look into what is really going on!

Capturing a breath of (not so) fresh air…

Filters are not the only thing lending a helping hand…

Baritone captures the true essence of winning…

How to stand out in a crowd…

The truth behind an ocean-side getaway…

Take a step back every once in a while…

Is the grass really always greener on the other side?

We want to extend an enormous “thank you!” to Ms. Baritone for gifting us this peek into real life, allowing us to understand that there is beauty in everything. Even ourselves. Thank you for reading. Please be sure to show Champoo Baritone some love via her social media accounts! Featured photo credit: Champoo Baritone via facebook.com
