Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Vincent Man @v100ncent

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

I am from Birmingham, United Kingdom. Currently I am a student studying my A levels.

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

I like street, urban and nature photography and I use abstract imagery in my work. I can’t define my work into one style.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

My Instagram name is Vincent and 100 combined. Vincent is my name and the 100 stands for that I put 100% into my work.

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

I usually start with Lightroom to convert raw into jpeg and edit the photos slightly. Then I bring it into vsco. If there’s a particular style I want to add, I either use snapseed or Pixlr after.

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

I really like the work of willemsizoo, his style I really admire and also sammiswar.

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

Too many people are doing rooftop photos that look generic to the point it is boring and not shocking any more. I’d try and make a familiar or “boring” scene such as streets more unique by having a unique perspective or interesting lighting or play with shadows.

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

I enjoy the process of creating content I am proud of and seeing others appreciate the time I put in.

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

Connect with the fan base. If they comment on your work. Always reply back. And make every reply unique especially if they are asking a question, no matter how mundane the question may seem.

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

Instagram degrades image quality, so it’s up to the content creators to create good quality content in order to stand out, Too many people are doing the same photos everyone else does, like smoke bombs, masks and roof tops. If you post something that is your own style and own creation, you will stand out.

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

I like that I get the connect with other businesses and start ups from around the world, and building up lifelong connections and networks.
