For the past decade, the entertainment industry has sold us "candid" photos that are actually staged within an inch of their lives. The trend is the antidote.

The next time you are out documenting your lifestyle—whether at a music festival, a fancy dinner, or just a walk home—stop trying to look perfect. Tuck away the hairbrush. Step into the wind. Let your hair get into your mouth. Let the photo be slightly out of focus.

Instead of sitting still, try jumping, walking toward the camera, or leaning in close to the lens.

The beauty of is its cross-cultural versatility. In urban Jakarta, it looks like a chaotic night out in SCBD. In Yogyakarta, it looks like a motorbike ride through the kabut (fog) with hair whipping around a faceshield.
