For my graduation project, I wanted to investigate how people are affected by the constructed perfectionism regarding lifestyles conveyed in social media. In today’s media we see loads of filters and people showing of their perfect lifestyle - but what is real?

My photobook intends to be an eyeopener and make people aware of the discrepancy between the everyday life of ordinary people as we see it with our own eyes, and the “reality” conveyed on social media. These photos are meant to make people think about how we are manipulated by the modified reality we encounter online, and how these unrealistic expectation can affect us.
