Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Mike Geyer @mikegeyer2009

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

I am self employed, from East London,currently in South Africa, until 20 months back discovered my “eye” for taking pics of everything beautiful in this wonderful world we live in and I am using Instagram to open doors for further opportunities for myself as it has so much potential with a fabulous platform

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

I do Nature, absolutely everything to do with nature, forests, living creatures, flowers, sunrises and sunsets, Landscapes, Wildlife, Food, People.  I try to catch in more candid situations in a natural way and well virtually anything and everything that will interest people around the world and there is so, so much, i just wish i could go everywhere to take more! It is also important to include a message maybe of inspiration for others, not just a photo on its own

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

Just started out like everyone else, had to be on Instagram, until i discovered i might just have a talent for taking pics and started seeing positive responses from my followers and i am growing daily since then, my passion sometimes overtakes me, so i am using my own name to Brand Myself for opportunities – and mostly to be Genuine in what i do

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

Snapseed and PixelR

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