Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Christina Wehbe @wehbetation

1) Tell us a little about yourself. What are you doing now and where do you come from?

Thank you for this opportunity.
My name is Christina, I am a Photographer in Chicago. I was born and raised on the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean sea in Beirut, I moved to the USA in 2004 to study, and I fell in love with the people in here and the ways of life so I made it home. I interned with Arny Freytag, the chief photographer in Playboy, that experience was the most influencing in my career and it taught me a lot about how to pose the female body to make it look its best. I graduated with a BFA in Photography in 2012 from the Institute of Art in Chicago and my life has been amazing since then. I have two hairless cats and I love dogs but unfortunately, I can’t have a dog now because of my extensive travel schedule.

2) What are your topics of interest? What do you post on Instagram the most?

I love fashion, style, fitness, beauty, travel and food photos, I post a lot of beauty and travel/events photos. I used to use Instagram a lot to publish my portfolio, but now, I use it mostly to connect to my fans and people who look forward to seeing new photos every day. I post photos daily and it’s growing a lot lately. I noticed that when I post photos of me, instead of my work, I get much more engagement and likes and I’m learning that people want to connect with the face behind the brand.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

I was a late bloomer when it came to social media, I had a Christina Wehbe account earlier, but I lost access to it… When I returned and I decided to start posting more, I picked Wehbe Which is my last name, and I added "tation" to it, my last name means a divine gift and It’s very famous in the middle east and Mediterranean because of my cousin the star "Haifa Wehbe"

4) What are some apps you use to edit your photos? Share with us your photo-editing routine!

I use photoshop mostly on the computer to edit my professional photos, but I don’t edit the phone photos I take and post, I just make sure I shoot it in good lighting and I’m blessed with that knowledge. On rare occasions, I edited some phone photos on the Lightroom app on my phone.

5) Any Instagrammers whom you really like? Which Instagrammer inspires you the most?

I like Kim Kardashian’s insta, and Paris Hilton’s. Always innovative and beautiful, I’m not big on content behind the photos, but aesthetically, their Instagram is really amazing and style inspiring.

6) If there’s one thing your fellow Instagrammers just gotta try now, what’s it gonna be?

Kickboxing, and take at least one photography class to learn the basics.

7) What’s your favorite part about being an influencer?

The best part is that I’m inspiring and helping others to live a beautiful healthy life. I hear it all the time that I’m inspiring, I have a lot of followers from the middle east because it’s where I’m from originally, but I also have a lot of followers in the states because it’s where I am from now for 13 years. I also have a lot of followers are in the beauty industry and photography because of what I do I’m planning on being even more active.

8) What are some of your top tips to brands for running campaigns? How do you maintain authenticity?

offer great product that work, stand behind your brand and communicate efficiently to connect to your fans.

9) What would your advice be on the importance of quality and original content?

100% has to be original and quality content, the internet is suffocating with fake news and re-posts, all my posts are my photos or photos of me.

10) What do you like best about partnering with brands?

I haven’t really done it professionally yet, I had few offers this year, but I didn’t consider it because it was foreign to me, I decided to dig in now because I feel I have a big influence. I would feature brands that I believe in and after I try it only.
