What’s online
In honor of our 6th Annual Photo Contest, we are handing over the keys to our Instagram account to four talented Baton Rouge photographers—two of whom may or may not have their work featured among our winners.
Like giddy teenagers ready to peel out of the driveway, these artists will each have one weekend in December to post images of their life, their work, and, yes, their food, to the official 225 Instagram account.
So follow @225batonrouge and check the #225takeover hashtag. We asked each participant to submit an Instagram photo of themselves. Meet them below, and check back throughout the month to watch their video introductions!
