Beauty content tells a story before we even read the caption. Lighting, colors, camera angles, and editing all influence what we notice and how we interpret an image.
Beyond the Filter explores those choices through a closer look at beauty and social media. This blog focuses on the visual details behind everyday content, from product photography to the process behind a finished look.
I’m Yamiris Tejeda, a Dominican communication and journalism student based in Miami who also creates social media content. My interest in beauty and storytelling inspired me to examine how images communicate ideas about appearance, identity, and authenticity.
Through selected visual examples and personal commentary, I invite readers to look beyond the finished image and consider the creative decisions behind it. Photographs are credited to their respective creators.
