Who: Belinda Tellez is a Venezuelan photographer who has transformed her Instagram feed into her own surrealistic fairy tale. Through clever editing and lighting, she turns normal situations into a trip down the rabbit hole, her full intention. She told Creator’s Project last year, “I liked books more than dolls and used to memorize passages from Alice in Wonderland.”

Why You Should Follow: Because sometimes day to day life is a drag and it’s inspiring to see people who don’t let their creativity die. She takes her portraits all on her own and successfully a creates a unique story that you don’t mind spending all afternoon scrolling through. She’s also currently running a photo series in conjunction with Netflix Latinoamerica, where she captures the feelings you have when your favorite show is over.
