There‘s no doubt that most of us know that feeling when you suddenly catch yourself questioning your life choices while scrolling through Instagram photos... All those social media influencers and their perfect everyday life moments that they share with the world can sometimes be too much to handle, but are those beautiful photos really true?
Geraldine West, a German woman living in Cologne, recently started this photo series called "Instagram vs. Reality" where she takes side-by-side pictures of herself that portray the same situations in real life and how they would look on social media. From taking a bath to traveling, Geraldine shows how ridiculous it all actually is and what unrealistic expectations it gives us, so scroll down to see them all for yourself!
