Instagram Photo Series Exposes the Reality of it All

Chompoo Baritone exposes the reality behind the majority of Instagram photos where the enviable life of some people may simply just be the work of well-planned cropping. The Bangkok-based photographer reveals how people can make their lives more fun and appealing by including the original, unretouched images past what can be displayed on Instagram. The series offers a glimpse on how a smidgen of fantasy can invoke emotions from jealousy to sadness when reality is so conveniently left out of the viewable area. So imagine the reality of it all when the green-eyed monster surfaces over a photo of your friend having a great time at a party while you sit at home eating takeout. Drunk, creepy strangers anyone?
