Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Chris Cano @chrissscano

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

I’m an Adventure & Lifestyle photographer and upcoming filmmaker from Mexico City currently based in the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro.

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

I’m in love with anything to do with adventure and lifestyle but lately I’ve also been really interested in Fashion and product photography! I’m also very interested in the process of filmmaking and i’m working hard to get better at it.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

I was actually trying very hard to come up with a name for my account but after a lot of thought i just sort of gave up and decided i just wanted to keep it simple and tried with my own name but it was already taken and chrissscano was suggested by instagram and i kinda liked the look of it so i decided to keep it.

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

It actually took me a little while to develop a nice and quick workflow but i’m really happy with it so far. Usually what i’ll do after taking photos is edit them right away in Lightroom, i used to throw one or two vsco filters and then edit the photo a bit more within instagram itself but now I’ve developed my own filters wishing lightroom and now i just basically edit the whole pic within lightroom. The key in my opinion is to just try different things and see what you like or don’t like.

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

Oh my God haha this is such a hard question since there are loads of instagrammers i really like and inspire me but i guess some of them off the top of my head would be @samuelelkins @doyoutravel @sam_kolder @jordenkeith and of course the one and only @bryant. All of them amazing people!

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

Hmm depends on what sense but i guess in general just try new things haha it might not be the most comfortable thing but that’s when you’ll improve the most!

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

I love inspiring people and whenever there’s someone saying things like “because of you i’m traveling more now” or “you make me wanna go out there and live the adventure” i get super duper happy haha inspiring people to do something positive is the best feeling ever!

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

I’d say just keep looking for new ways to display your products to an audience.

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

I’ve always thought we are all capable of achieving greatness. It’s definitely not the easiest thing and it might take you longer than you expected but when you get there you’ll see it was all worth it. Achieving greatness includes the ability to display original and great quality content. Of course you can get inspired by other people’s work and such but in order to achieve greatness you have to work hard and always try to get better every day. Practice every day and soon enough you’ll see the results. I still have a long way to go but i’m constantly pushing myself to achieve my goals which include better quality and always trying to come up with original content.

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

I think for me i find it amazing being able to let people know about an amazing product that hopefully can satisfy their needs. I kinda have a sense of what my audience likes and doesn’t like, whenever i find something that excites me it usually excites my audience too! so its good to know that a product that helps me might help other people too.
