Meet Michelle Liu, a 21-year-old travel Instagrammer who’s sick and tired of ‘perfect’ social media photos that take all the fun from both travel and taking pictures with friends. It seems that nowadays everyone wants to make their photos as pretty as possible, often forgetting that the experience itself is more important than any picture (unless you’re a professional photographer, but that’s another story). Taking silly photos is one way of making fun of all those people trying to keep their social feeds picture perfect (when, let’s admit it, life isn’t all that polished at all). That’s why Michelle came up with ‘chinfies’ – angle-high photos that look both incredibly ridiculous and cute at the same time.

It’s probably one of the happiest ‘chinfies’ we’ve seen so far. Can you make a funny face while still smiling? Obviously, you can!

The word ‘selfies’ in the background kind of hints that it’s the perfect place to make one. And so she did!
