Sure, we all know that what we see on Instagram is a carefully curated version of real life. But it’s easy to forget it sometimes. It’s easier than you think to fall into a trap of thinking that everyone has their sh*t together except you. This is why we occasionally need friendly reminders to tell us to snap out of it. And these hilarious side-by-side photos by Geraldine West are exactly what you need if you feel like Instagram has caught you into its “perfect life” trap.

Why I believe it is ok to shoot for free
A photographer who has been a “pro” for going on five years now (part-time, of course, because he has a government job) loudly and rudely called me out for telling a new, non-published photographer to get the gig (unpaid) and knock it out of the park. This sort of gig rarely comes with compensation, and I will explain a bit below.
“… encouraging working for free is like condoning slavery…”
Slavery?
Are you chasing likes, comments and follows on your social media? Why?
Those who have been following me for any length of time will know that one of the most frequent questions I am asked is about likes and followers and how to ‘boost’ those numbers. There are a few questions I will always ask;
Why? Simple first question, what is your goal, why do you want more likes or followers, is it for personal reasons (for example an ego boost or a feeling of validation) or is it about making a living (you are looking to sell your brand and need those numbers to maximise potential sales).

Watch: Girls swept away by a huge wave while posing for Instagram
We know that there are people who would do anything to get likes. Boyfriends of Instagram have already shown us what we can expect from influencers and wannabe influencers on Instagram. But this time, they shared a video that left me unsure whether to laugh or cry.
No, AI editing will not ruin photography
AI is the #1 buzzword in the digital photography world.
Skylum, which has ridden the AI photo editing craze better than any company, is about to release Luminar AI. ON1 now offers ON1 Portrait AI. DxO announced DxO DeepPRIME, which it describes as “an artificial intelligence technology dedicated to editing photos in RAW format.”
Adobe just made AI a major centerpiece in the latest version of Photoshop, declaring that Photoshop is “the world’s most advanced AI application for creatives.”
Reactions within the online photography community seem split. It feels like there’s a loud minority proclaiming AI to be pure evil. But there’s another side thinking about the convenience factor of one-click fixes.
So let’s talk about it.
These are the five things I hate on Instagram as a creator
Whether we like it or not, Instagram is still one of the best places for creators to showcase their work. Whether it’s photography, video, or any other kind of creative work, you’ll find many creatives on this platform. I’m one of them, sharing my articles and recipes, and I used to manage a YouTuber’s profile. And as both a creative and a regular user of Instagram, I’ve noticed some things that I find extremely annoying across all the profiles I manage. I want to address them in this article, and I can only hope that at least some of them will change with time.

You need to sign up for a special lottery that only ten photographers can win each day. photographer Todd Dominey was one of the lucky winners. In this fun and informative video, he shared his experience and a bit about the application process itself.
Instagram accused of “double standards”, “fat-shaming” after banning parody image but not the original [NSFW]
No matter how hard some influencers try to debunk the myth of “the perfect body,” there will always be those who promote it. Heck, even Instagram itself seems to prefer skinny, model-like women over us regular gals. The platform recently banned users from sharing Celeste Barber‘s semi-nude parody photo. It wouldn’t be a problem if the original image of a model Candice Swanepoel weren’t left untouched. After the scandal, Instagram quickly came under fire for “fat-shaming” and “double standards.”
Panasonic doesn’t believe Olympus shooters will switch to their MFT products
Although Japan Industrial Partners has essentially come out and said that it’s business as usual for Olympus as a camera brand and that it has big plans (particularly with video) for the Micro Four Thirds system in the future, many MFT shooters are still in doubt about what may come under the brand’s new ownership.
A report on 43Rumors today, also suggests that Panasonic isn’t all that confident in MFT’s future, either. They say that Panasonic doesn’t see a lot of potential for Olympus shooters to switch to Panasonic’s Micro Four Thirds products, suspecting that they’ll just stick with what they or move over to an APS-C or full-frame system.
