Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Adarryll Jackson @adarrylljacksonsr

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

I am a freelance photographer and I come from Memphis, Tennessee, USA.

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

I post primarily moments that I’ve captured with my camera or phone. I use my Instagram account to share with others the beauty I am fortunate to see.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

I chose to go simple with my Instagram name and use my birth name. The “sr” is for senior.

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

I primarily use Lightroom for editing my photos.

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

Instagrammers I like are @nite0wlz, @johnnymeant @savage_artist @usrnmeinvalid, among others. I take inspiration from everyone, to challenge myself to capture moments maybe no one else had considered.

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

This isn’t a product, but I would really like for more instagrammers to just try to be original, and not always follow what others are doing.

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

My favorite part is hopefully inspiring others to see things differently.

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

Everything starts with your vision, not someone else’s. Use others for inspiration and ideas but ultimately you want to create and follow your own path.

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

Our work represents our mind, heart, and vision. If one’s work is of poor quality and always patterned after others, then what does that say about you?!

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

What I like best about partnering with brands is the ability to share with others what I like and appreciate.
