Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sholom Ber Solomon could be your average hipster dad from Hackney, who likes to post funny pictures of his daughter on social media.

Except that the 36-year-old's elaborately set up photo shoots have earned him more than 13,000 followers on Instagram.

Sholom Ber’s nine-month-old daughter Zoe pops up in a flower pot, riding shotgun in a car or in the garden as an intrepid wildlife explorer.

In one of the most popular picture of the series, she is dressed up as a tiny garden gnome.

The dad joke always seems to be on Sholom Ber, as he dresses up as a cookie monster, nappy changer equipped with a gas mask or hula-hooping beach babe.

One picture features Sholom Ber doing a plié in a pink tutu with Zoe in a matching white outfit squished into his arms.

Before Zoe was born, the pictures focused on her mum Carli's growing baby bump. Now, Carli is the one who takes the pictures, with each ones taking about twenty minutes to capture.

Sholom Ber, who owns a vintage furniture store and lives in California, captions his pictures with #dadlife and #instadad, tapping into the appetite for goofy dad pics online.
