  1. How did you author (the photo or video) you recorded for upload to Instagram?
    I captured this image with my phone front facing camera (Samsung Galaxy s7, 12 MP, f/1.7, 26mm (wide), 1/2.55″, 1.4µm, Dual Pixel PDAF). I originally intended on taking the photo for purely documentation purposes, but upon pulling up my camera came to like the lighting, and re-positioned myself to make for a better shot composition. Overall I was glad as to how it turned out, giving equal amounts of vibrancy in colour and its softer tones, whilst remaining sharp with nice framing.
  2. How did you publish (the photo or video) you recorded for upload to Instagram?
    Due to liking the original image so much and not finding the Instagram filters to offer much in ways of improvement, I uploaded this image with zero editing, purely being a RAW image. Also I believe that subconsciously a part of me wants to say “look! I don’t need the filters”, but I digress.
  3. How did you distribute (the photo or video) you published on Instagram to other
    social media services?

    Be it personal views, anxiety of having to meticulously upkeep an online presence that is ‘perfect’, or a combination of the two, I don’t have any social media accounts. They just don’t appeal to me. I find them pretentious and overall destructive at their core, but that’s no blame to the users, if anything I feel sympathy for them. As such, I had to create an Instagram account to upload these to, but due to my aforementioned views, was not able to share it to any other accounts. Unfortunately this description will likely be shared with my following posts.
