Anyone who has ever taken a digital stroll through their Instagram feed is likely to be confronted with the same envy inducing pictures - endless blue skies, impressive yoga posturing and stylish breakfast spreads.
任何一位刷過照片社交網Instagram的人，很可能都看到過那些讓人羨慕嫉妒恨的美圖——一望無際的藍天、令人欽佩的瑜伽動作和有格調的早餐陳列。

But Thai photographer, Chompoo Baritone has created a photo series to reveal what really goes on outside of Instagram's square frame.
但泰國攝影師沖蒲?巴里頓（Chompoo Baritone）卻創作了一系列照片，向我們解釋了Instagram的方形相框之外的玄機。

By super-imposing the Instagram image on top of another scene, the collection shows the pictures Instagram photographers don't want you to see.
通過將Instagram上的照片疊加到別的場景上，他的這一系列照片展示的恰恰是Instagram用戶不想讓你看見的情景。

With careful cropping a packed beach becomes empty, a cramped roof terrace provides epic views and a chaotic breakfast table exudes calm.
僅需仔細裁剪，人山人海的海灘就可以變得空空蕩蕩，狹窄的屋頂露臺也能讓我們看見絕佳的風景，而混亂不堪的早餐桌也能流露出平靜的氣息。

To create the series, Baritone has placed an Instagram picture into fake surroundings to show how easy it is for social media users to make their lives look perfect.
為了創作這系列作品，巴里頓將來自Instagram的照片放進各種偽造的背景，來展示社交媒體用戶想讓他們的生活看起來光鮮是多么容易。

Travellers are often the biggest offenders of stretching the truth in pictures by tweaking colours and angles to induce wanderlust but Baritone hones in on all lifestyle photography.
游客們往往最愛干這種事，他們調整色彩和角度來美化圖片，勾起別人的旅游欲。但巴里頓卻專注于拍攝富有生活氣息的照片。

The collection has been curated to expose the Instagram tricks that many users are guilty of - whether it's pretending that they have a yoga prowess beyond their actual ability or that their messy bedroom is a calm, minimalist work space.
他創作這系列作品就是為了曝光許多Instagram用戶都用過的拍照小竅門——不管是假裝能擺出超出自己實際能力的瑜伽姿勢，還是將他們混亂不堪的臥室偽裝成寧靜、極簡主義的的工作室。

Through the satirical series Baritone challenges the perfect online lives we are presented suggesting that there is more to most images than meets the eye.
通過這一系列反諷照片，巴里頓質疑了人們在網上展現出的完美生活，也向我們表明，大多數照片遠不是我們所看到的那樣。
