Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Izabela @Izafdantas

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

Hi! I’m living in Indonesia for more than 2 years now and I live here working as model, so this place has been my home for quite a while now, I love to see everything here and explore all the beautiful places that the country has. Indonesia has amazing landscapes! I’m from Brasil, another gorgeous landscape place, that I miss a lot and I’m planing to visit soon

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

Mostly I like to post what I’ve seen during my small trips around here and if I like something beautiful I saw I usually try to pose into the view.. I like to take casual pictures that show people how simple I am and make them interested also to look what’s behind me.. usually when post my work they are interested too because my pictures as a model show me as someone totally different from the person on the trips

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

my Instagram name is a short term of my full name.. everyone calls me iza and F means Ferreira, my middle name. Dantas is my last name and less people have it usually so I chose to use this one as the end of username.

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

I usually use Snapseed and Vscocam. It depends on what kind of photos I take. I like to edit the colors to make them easier to see because people usually check out Instagram photos in such a rush so I like to make them bright and shinny so people look at them with more interest. I don’t use a lot of filter, I rather have a more clean picture with more natural enhanced colors in it because filters sometimes make them too faded or equal.

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

I like a lot to see beauty youtubers on Instagram and models. My favorite model Instagram is emrata, I would love to become a profile as good as hers. I also like to follow nikkietutorials a lot to see her makeup and her new updates on videos. Mostly I follow traveling profiles from Indonesia to keep updates on New amazing places that I must visit

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

I think they should try more to plan their pictures and make them as best as they can, I love to look at a photo and see that it was a lot of effort to become the way it is on the Instagram post.. pictures that have nonfilter and nonedition are really great too! But for me they must be soooo perfect so there’s no reason to edited. I think instagramers have to be more whiling to have a great feed so we are always whillingntofollow them

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

my biggest influence is at my work so my favorite part of it is when someone that just started to be a model feels like talking to me and asks for tips and help, I love to talk about my beginning and show how you can go on this easier than I went. With help is so much easier! So I like to help others to understand how they can be great too

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

I think you have to find someone that fits your brand a lot for the job. Try to look at someone’s personality more than the beauty. And see how good they are on getting others people opinions and feed backs. If they can handle the public well for sure they can showcase your brand in a better way because they know how to show it to the public that follows them.
Nowadays social media can make u become like anyone else so easy! You can get influence from any random other influencer so fast you wouldn’t even notice.. I think you must be so strong minded and so into your ideas so you will never loose your authencity to anything that is on trend now or ever

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

For me the content, no matter which one your profile is about, must be as real and well checked so you can pass an honest content to your followers and admirers. If they live you they can be blinded easily so it’s so sad when you see an influencer lying to the people just because they know everyone would trust them. If your content is honest and great for sure you can have a great quality of content

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

I think the best part is because you can really try and know about the brand to tell the people who follows you. When you get partnerships you know this brand is willing to trust you to be their “face” and I’m sure we will be so happy to do it because we feel special and we’ll treated
