Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Kristina PIttam @wearelivingart

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

I am a fashion and lifestyle blogger from Toronto, interested in sharing my personal style as well as health and travel inspiration to my followers.

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

Fashion, Health, Travel, Lifestyle

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

I believe that we are what we wear, in the sense that the way one chooses to dress is a form of self-expression. Hence the phrase we are living art. We are able to express our interests and personality through clothing, which I believe is truly it’s own form of art.

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

VSCO Cam, Litelly, Snapseed. I like to give a similar feel to all of my photos so they all blend together. However, I try to keep the colour and nature of the photos when I edit and normally just tune up the brightness a bit and fade them a little.

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

I really love @songofstyle and @weworewhat. They both have completely different styles and pages, but they both share a really unique factor to their fashion photography pics.

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

Hmm, I’d probably say take pictures more of day-to-day things you see or love. It creates a little personal archive of your life that one day you’ll probably want to look back on.

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

I like to see that something I love and am truly passionate about resonates with other like-minded individuals. I also love how one can reach such a diverse audience through social media platforms.

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

Make sure the way you advertise your product is natural and true to how it is marketed. No one likes hidden information, so lay it all out especially when approaching influencers and audiences. People really appreciate honesty.

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

Target a niche for your content. Everyone can copy anything, but what is truly difficult is finding something specific that hasn’t really been done, and trying to grow and build that.

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

It’s crazy how far networking can take you. Connecting with one brand on a product you love, can open the doors to other completely unaffiliated brands and products. Everyone is connected, remember that.
