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

I am currently in my last 2 weeks of High School in Australia and I have been taking photos for almost 2 years now.

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

I post travel photos of destinations I have travelled to as well as photos of places around where I live.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

I made my account years ago and just put my name in with an underscore between the words. The name has now grown on me however it’s a little late to change it now.

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

I mainly use Adobe Lightroom but I touch things up with Adobe Photoshop.

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

Some local Instagrammers in Brisbane who inspire me are people such as bne.visuals and spurwaya, but I also enjoy Instragrammers like mrbenbrown and alexstrohl.

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

After you’ve taken your banger of a shot, just sit there and take in what you’re looking at. Often people are too busy trying to capture their surroundings and are not looking at them with their own eyes.

My favourite part about being an influencer is being able to share products that I’m passionate about while also expanding my Instagram influence.

Give the influencer as much creative freedom as possible.

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

I think it’s important to create original and inspiring content however, if your audience cannot view your content what’s the point of putting it out there in the first place.

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

I like partnering with brands because it allows me to take photos of products I’m passionate about and share them with my audience.
