Facebook, Twitter, Instagram<\/a>, LinkedIn, Pinterest and the slew of other social networks are now an integral part of our daily life. They provide multiple opportunities to stay in touch with family<\/a>, share photos, interact with others, exchange ideas, learn, discover, and also support good causes - the list is endless.<\/p>

Social networks occupy such a significant place that sometimes they seem to come to life. Indeed, we may even question: what would they look like if they were human?<\/p>

There is actually an\u00a0answer to this question, thanks to Los Angeles-based fashion photographer, Viktorija Pashuta<\/strong>. The artist shot a series of fashion photos inspired by the question: \u201cWhat if guys were social networks?\u201d She said \u201cI thought, what would happen if I tried to humanise well known social networks<\/a>?\u00a0The idea was not only to use the social media logos as a visual reference, but also to transfer their qualities and usability functions into human characters portrayed through fashion<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>

Thus, according to the characteristic\u00a0features, style and functions of each network, Pashuta worked closely with the wardrobe stylist, Jordan Anthony Swain, to depict each model\u00a0in ways that conveyed the spirit and essence of the social platforms; thereby rendering them believable. As a result, Facebook was\u00a0personified as casual, Twitter as classic, Pinterest as creative, LinkedIn as business-like, Instagram as vintage, Flickr as artsy, Tumblr as hip and Google+ as innovative.<\/p>

Pashuta explains, \u201cIt may be subjective, but this is exactly how I imagined the networks would look if they stepped out of the computer screens and onto the streets.\u201d Subjective, sure, but we do think that this\u00a0was remarkably well imagined! Don\u2019t you?<\/p>
