You should be following Elliot Briery on Instagram
Guaranteed daily wows
They walk through common campus, they frequent the study rooms of bass, they woads, they get yorkside after a good night, they trudge up science hill-they are just like us normie yalies, except for the fact of their Hannah Montana-esque secret: they are the Instafamous among us.
Meet our first Instafamous Yalie, who gave us some advice and knowledge about their journey. If you don’t follow him already….. make that button green.
Elliot Briery, Calhoun College 2018
Elliot’s vibrant style and breath-taking vision shows he has an eye for detail, cool textures and colors, and knows when something is worth taking a photo. Not only one of the most interesting people you can meet at Yale, but a kick-ass Instagram full of things most of us would just walk past. Follow for daily wows.
How would you describe your Instagram style?
Average.
What are your inspirations?
Art & architecture magazines, my physical environment, the music I listen to.
What other photo editing apps do you use?
vscocam
What are your favorite things about Instagram?
I love how certain hastags create and sustain a community of “insiders”. Searching for that hashtag and looking at the photos posted under it can give you a glimpse into a hidden community that exists outside of the physical world, binding together people that could be separated by thousands of miles. And getting likes. I enjoy that too.
What type of photos have you noticed are most popular?
I suspect a nude would be quite popular but I never quite made the leap. I heard Insta’s quite strict with those.
Duly noted, although we haven’t seen any of that from your Instagram. Any closing tips for aspiring Insta-famous grammers?
Don’t take yourself too seriously. Have fun. Keep your eyes peeled for what makes you feel something.
