Meet the in-betweeners: the suddenly public lives of internet celebrities

They're known by their faces, work, or names, and live a life of semi-stardom - all because they showcased their craft on the internet

You probably know Sarah Bahbah, by her name, or her work - but you probably wouldn't be able to pick her out in a crowd. You may have seen her recent cover shot of DJ Khaled for GQ; or you may know her other visual art work -like her subtitle series, which uses cinematic stills with her inner dialogue as captions, featuring big names like Noah Centineo and Dylan Sprouse. But a few years ago, the 29-year-old was relatively unknown. Then, all of a sudden, she posted a collection of photographic stills based on sex and takeout, and woke up to find herself near famous.

Now she has more than a million followers on Instagram, but Bahbah first recognized her new level of fame when she started to pass barbecue test - that is, when you are invited to a a gathering where you don't know anyone, and a stranger asks if you're familiar with your own work. It's happened numerous times," she says. I would just be sitting there listening to someone talk about my work, in this room full of strangers. That's such a cool feeling to have - knowing that no matter where you are in the world, because of the internet, people discover you on their own terms and connect to your work."
