A colleague at work mentioned that he never filters his photos and thinks people who do have low self esteem so it got me thinking; why do we filter? Putting our best face forward in cyber space has gradually become part of our subconsciousness. Millions of selfies are taken daily and posted on social media. Thanks to readily available photo refining apps, we have the means to transform our pictures into art.
I love taking pictures and making daily memories. Its my thing. I discovered filters when I joined instagram last year and it has changed the way I post photos. Now I have this compulsion to filter all my photos before posting. Like the "real" photo of me is not good enough. Why cant I just post a picture of me without the need to make it look "more polished". Do you filter? If so why?
