DOES INSTAGRAM CAUSE DEPRESSION? On fakeness, ego and the distortion of reality
VERSIONE ITALIANA🇮🇹 Is instagram becoming dangerous for our health? This question has been humming in my head for a at …
Hey guys! My name is Sara and I'm the photographer behind QUEST FOR BEAUTY.
I’m an Artist, a former dancer, a writer, a traveler, a Dreamer and I recently left my life in NYC to be on the road full time. Join me on my adventures around the world!
![🇬🇧sorry for the incredibly overshot pic but I’m in a rush and fished it out of the archives 😅 update from the road: though according to my stories I’m still in Ladakh I actually left India (I had no connection for most of the trip and wasn’t able to post so I’ll finish up all the unposted stories by Monday). It has been an incredible trip. Ladakh is a magical land that definitely defied my expectation in ways I can’t yet word(i will soon though!). I didn’t take many pics for ig, I’m kind of over the whole shooting for Instagram thing, i don’t see the point anymore when so many people are shooting the same stuff(like this pic), I don’t want to do what everyone else does, I left my hats at home for this trip, I need to reinvent my ig style cause I’m bored to death by it. I shot good stuff for my professional portfolio instead and that’s good enough for me. It actually feels great to shoot for me and not for “the market” (aka the masses). This pic is what the market wants, the pic I posted before this one instead is what my heart wants though “the market” doesn’t give a shit...I’m slowly coming to this conclusion: fuck the market, I’m an artist not a sales man! And making art is not reproducing what the market wants, so I need to change things here 🤓
Bitching aside, I’m now in a new country, guess where?🤔 .
🇮🇹scusate la foto banale che ormai e’ stata scattata all’infinito ma sono di fretta e l’ho pescata dagli archivi 😅
Update dalla strada: anche se secondo le mie stories sono ancora in Ladakh in realtà’ ho lasciato l’India (nn avevo connessione e sn indietro cn le storie😅). E’ stato un viaggio incredibile, il Ladakh e’ un posto magico difficile da mettere in parole e ancora più difficile da fotografare rendendogli giustizia. Nn ho fatto molte foto per ig infatti, a dirla tutta mi sto davvero rompendo il cazzo di fare foto apposta per ig, non ne vedo più il senso adesso che tutti fanno le stesse foto(tipo questa!) nn ho voglia di fare quello che fanno tutti(inclusi i sempre più crescenti truffatori con followers e engagement finiti 😬) Ho lasciato i miei cappelli a casa per questo viaggio infatti,devo reinventare il mio stile..[continua nei commenti...]](http://scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/3f38812be39fcdd691f0a3408ce04ed5/5C3A46BA/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/c0.135.1080.1080/s640x640/38618412_2092033237476376_3053655531945197568_n.jpg "🇬🇧sorry for the incredibly overshot pic but I’m in a rush and fished it out of the archives 😅 update from the road: though according to my stories I’m still in Ladakh I actually left India (I had no connection for most of the trip and wasn’t able to post so I’ll finish up all the unposted stories by Monday).
