Instagrams from North Korea

Vicky Mohieddeen is a British woman who regularly visits North Korea from Beijing where she works for a tour company that takes foreigners into the so-called Hermit Kingdom. She knows the place well, has a respect for its people but realises too that she can't allow herself - or her Instagrams - to act as a mouthpiece for the country, so often condemned as aggressive and belligerent by the international community. She says she is not interested in taking cliched "rare glimpse" pictures, but wants to use her photos to connect.
