“The series was inspired by the constant visual vomit around me,” explains photographer Marco Argüello. His series Chroma is a garish, saturated document of his year-long travels and a comment on the influencer culture perpetuated within the square confines of Instagram. Marco’s images capture the decor of hotel rooms, the mundane shopping trips, the faces and places that never end up behind a filter and showered in thousands of ‘likes’. “Those who have ever been on holiday in a popular place know that while Angkor Wat is a stunning place, it is also packed with tourists,” he says. “This sometimes took away from the magic that you always envisioned when daydreaming about visiting. Aside from the obligatory shots I started focusing on the subject matter around me like the people, the clothing, textures, signs, whatever. Things that were lurid and otherwise overlooked. “
