On vacation? In the photo, Kendall looks like she’s in a swimming pool in an exotic location, but she’s actually in a paddling pool in her backyard.
Cheap! Kendall purchased an inflatable pool for $70 for another paid ad and then used an app to overlay a photo of a field of flowers over the original image.
He was actually lying on a towel, a few feet from the front door.
The 20-year-old artist, who is also an artist and draws tattoos, has also shot other creative scenes.
He used another paid ad to buy a paddling pool that cost $70 and made it look like he was swimming in azure water somewhere far away.
Kendall’s videos left the audience in awe.
One user commented, “This year’s biggest hit”. “Devotion to content,” said another viewer.
“And they say Instagram isn’t a business,” another user wrote. “And they say creators aren’t creative,” admits another.
Another wrote: ‘THE CONTENT IS AMAZING.’
The video has more than 8.9 million views and two million likes and stunned with one comment: “OMG OMG FOR THE CONTENT”
Kendall said, “Inspiring others is all I’ve ever wanted to do, it’s like a dream come true, especially after giving up so much in the last year.
“I also had a lot of hate, mostly people telling me it was ‘sad’ or ‘I created a false reality’. I disagree with both.
“I remember when I was 13 and if someone had shown me that not everything was as glamorous as it seems, I would have avoided such contempt on social media.
“I’m in a position now where girls can admire me, I want them to know.”
Kendall lauded for her honesty after sharing her photoshoot secrets
Kendall also uses white sheets as props in her photos to make it look like she’s abroad when she’s truly alone at home.
Kendall enlists the help of her mother and a tripod to take her pictures, but says she’s had mixed reactions from passersby and people online.
“Some people are looking, some are honking, some are shouting bad things, and some are not even looking. I really think it depends on the day.
“When people get rude, I remember how lucky I was to do it. I don’t let even people I don’t know stop me from doing what I love, for fun or for work.
Kendal holds a bouquet of flowers and uses a white sheet as a background for the photo.
Kendall said her mother often helps her take pictures and has ideas for shoots.
