Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Samantha Baldwin @sam_r_baldwin

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

I am currently a working model and actress from Upstate New York. I have recently moved to Los Angeles to further my career and hit the ground running!

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

Luxury, travel, and fashion interest me most. I typically post about the current city that I am in, any gems that I find around me, steps that I am taking with my career, clothing items that I love, and things of that general nature. I like to think of my feed as on inspired by your average fashion blogger.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

I had always been called “Sam Baldwin” in school as most were too lazy to spell out my whole name. The name had a nice ring to it, so I figured I would use it in my social media accounts. Oh, and both “samanthabaldwin” and “sambaldwin” was already taken.

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

I normally start out by enhancing the photo through Instagram’s editing features. I straighten it out, make it a bit more clear, and try to reach for the highest quality as possible before adding filters. Next, I typically use VSCO cam. I’ll add one filter that I like, save it, and layer on another. Then I add any finishing touches back on Instagram before posting.

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

While my feed consists mostly of models and clothing brands, I am definitely a fan of the fashion bloggers of Instagram. My favorite is by far Danielle of @weworewhat, but I also like @urbanoutfitters, @jgaltusa, @revolve, @lornaluxe, and @thriftsandthreads.

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

Instagram’s adjust feature. There’s nothing worse than an off-kilter post!

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

My favorite part, without a doubt, is being able to share the things that I love with my followers and collaborating with others. Team work makes the dream work!

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

Only collaborate with those who were fans of your brand before they become an influencer. That is the only true way to ensure that posts will be authentic and truly endorse the brand in the way you’re looking for.

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

Post what you like and don’t over filter. If a post is forced, it shows. Especially if you try to make up for the lack of quality with more filters. We’ve all made that mistake once or twice!

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

I love being able to show my favorite items from brands that I partner with to my followers. It’s always so interesting to see how they react to the items that I love.
