You may remember a post we did last year about Celeste Barber, an Australian comedienne who hilariously recreates celebrity Instagram photos. Well, now she's back, and her latest batch of parody poses are even funnier than the first.
And if you have some doubts about your understanding of what parody is, here's a simple explanation - it's purpose is to comment or criticize the parodied subject itself, doing it in a funny and light-hearted way. Not to be confused with its grim sister satire - a technique used by writers to expose the foolishness and corruption of a person or society. Celeste Barber delivers some of the best examples of parody - gently mocking the today's stars in a flawless, yet spot-on manner.
As you can see from these pictures, no celebrity is safe from Sydney-based Barber's brilliant reenactments. Whether she's trying to look as smooth as Beyoncé, as flexible as Victoria Beckham, as tired as Kim Kardashian, as romantic as Jessica Simpson, as sexy as Ruby Rose or as, er, curious as Nicki Minaj, the comedienne infuses each of her pictures with a dose of reality that we can all relate to. Unsurprisingly her hilarious photographs have earned her an Instagram following of over 500,000. How many of those follows are celebrities, however, nobody knows...

I have no idea how they actually do those poses you have to keep your upper body up one hip on the ground the other hip up, one knee crossed over the other and touching the ground and have your ankle crossed over the other and look at the camera

Hilarious :) Some of them perfectly show the irrationality of the original ones :) Some of the original pictures are very nice too, but some of them are just weird :D So thanks for the parody :) It made my day :)
Myriam Ickx 8 years ago
Terrific sense of humour ! I really love this woman. And her pictures really make the original celebs look pretty stupid and artificial - which was the point, I believe... Thanks from all of us who look just ordinary, and congrats - I want more!

Loved this Article!! I bet this is what the celebrities look like doing it as well in real life, without the help of photoshop, assistants and many many takes.

This, though obviously fun to do, im not sure if I missed the point? The thing that defines the difference between these images is the photographers use of LIGHT! All of the images I saw were crafted by understanding light, where as you just focused on the pose. A common misconception. This is why you look daft in the images you took and the models dont. Its also why the photographer who took the images earns a packet. With an understanding of how to use light to accentuate your assets, you could look as good?!

I think you missed the point completely as a photographer I think these are funny exactly what she was going for simple x

At first, I was skeptical until I came to this page and saw those photos! Oh my goodness, she's so funny! (And she doesn't look bad, either. In the twerking pic, she actually looks better than the original^^ Still funny, though...^^)
