Influencer Continues To Expose The Truth Behind Those ‘Perfect’ Instagram Photos With More Side-By-Side Pics
Rianne Meijer has over 628K Instagram followers. She was on a Cosmopolitan cover. H&M put her on their poster. What I'm trying to say is the woman has a lot of eyes on her. But despite all the attention, Rianne is keeping it real. Like we already showed here and here, she isn't afraid to show the reality behind her seemingly perfect photos.
In an age where keeping appearances has become an obsession, it's really refreshing to see that it's not a necessity. No matter how popular you are.

Meijer is very beautiful and has a great style, but as you can see from the series, she can also take an unflattering photo. Nonetheless, she's sharing them because the woman thinks it would be unfair to show only the 'perfect' ones. "It [can] give a really nice and honest message to my followers," she said in an earlier Bored Panda interview. "It kind of felt like only posting the perfect Instagram pictures was basically lying, so for me to post the other ones next to it made it more real. That's why I posted the Instagram vs. Reality pictures. And it turned out to be a good call. I love that now I stand for something online."

And Rianne surely isn't alone in the fight against social media 'filters'. Louisa Northcote, activist and #freethepimple Founder also believes that Instagram gives the wrong perception of what beauty should be. "Big boobs, long hair, make-up, fake eyelashes. I don't fit into that category -- I have small boobs and bad skin. So I've decided to use my Instagram to show people the truth, and give them something to relate to," she told VICE.
Both Rianne and Louisa are excellent role models in urging people to speak up about their insecurities, whether it's their weight, their stretch marks -- or something else that makes them feel like they're not enough. Talking about these things, owning them, can bring us closer to accepting our true selves, and that's far more important than liking each other's edited images of our perfect lives. Sorry, I mean, lies.

I wonder if she thought this was going to be a proposal and was disappointed when he just tied his shoe.

This young woman looks almost exactly like an old high school girlfriend of mine whom I remember very fondly, so there’s no amount of schlumping she can do to not be cute as far as I’m concerned.

Quit worrying about getting the perfect pic and just enjoy each other.

Yeah, you heard 4 years ago
I'm shocked and amazed to discover that people who look good in photos can sometimes look bad in photos. This is a revelation.

Thins is ridiculous. She looks fabulously, staged photos, and likely retouches them. The "truth" merely is the same picture with an obvious grimace. The usual strive for attention, not more, not less.

Pfff, sorry, but this not a "truth" of any sort, it's just photos being like "haha, look at me, I'm funny and have self-distance, look at my ugly photos, of course they are not really ugly, haha"... What young girls have these days in their heads, if they thing that photos on right are "ugly" and "true"?

It seems like she is trying too hard to take those "reality" pics. Her "Instagram" pics look less staged compared to her "reality" pics. Just another way to get attention.

If you're so annoyed with it, screw off! Why are you here? Just to make rude comments?

So we are just seeing the same people over and over again, and we learn what from this? If you push your face down you can get a double chin. Whoop-de-doo. Still no point to any of these photos.

We can all look strange when we put our heads down, make a double chin, and take the photo from below. Thanks for the educational moment

Exposing the truth behind Instagram photos? All you exposed is that you're still starved for attention and still want to look hot. Just because you make a dumb face afterward means nothing. You're still "exposing" your body in suggestive poses to get people to notice you. This is stupid to me.

The whole "influencer" thing is soo staged. Influence people in what? It is all about making hidden advertisements and promoting for being fake. And many people fall for this, and begin hating they real lives because they think that these staged pics are real!

Is she for real with this? Not a single one of her "after" photo look bad either. She even had to contort her neck to make it *look* like she has double chins. All of this is more crying for attention. "Omg, look at me, look at how ugly I can pretend to be, all I have to do is push my stomach out so I look fat!" This is absolutely, 100%, insulting and offensive to all women. I get it there are poses and lighting techniques, etc., that can create a more flattering photograph. This is not, in anyway, the same thing.

I think we've seen enough of these honestly. Lighting, photoshop, and different poses are more flattering. It's not interesting anymore.

It's true folks! If you don't use a high quality camera and you stop posing, you still look like a supermodel.

What I don't understand is why SO many people feel the need to spew hate. P**s off and let the people who want to enjoy this, enjoy it.

I don't understand why people would even look at these. We get it, she has the figure of a nine year old boy and is clueless about closed vs. open programming architecture. Classic post-web2.0 bimbette. Nothing to see, nothing to learn, nothing to gain an appreciation for. Gave it a fair shot, but this is about as interesting as watching paint dry in the dark.
