I guess its called photo editing!

The unglamourous reality behind perfect Instagram photos



This article attempts to highlight  the unglamourous reality behind Instagram photos?But what's the purpose for using photo editing , performing apps then?Really.




We know that social media shots aren't always as they seem.


There can be tricks of light a change of pose or posture, 50 photos of the same shot that didn't make the grade or a good old filter applied.

Now, a Bangkok-based photographer has published a series of pictures showing the clutter and reality behind the scenes of the perfect social media shot.

Unsurprisingly it isn't as glamourous as the final photo seems.

They are, the photographer Chompoo Baritone says, a comment on the #slowlife aesthetic where people appear to be creating 'art' from the ordinary but are actually trying to be trendy.

"What is "slow life"photography? Why is it good [or important]?," Baritone writes.
"[It is a] trendy photographic practice that makes social commentary on current human behaviour. [It is a way of] intentionally taking artistic-looking photos with the end goal of getting praise. In the end we just want to do it so that we are trendy. Just #slowlife."
