CREATOR Q&A @forstylewepray

Q1: How did you become a creator?

I’ve always been a creator. From crayons and papers when I was a kid, to art and makeup school as a teenager. Always loved creating beauty – and capturing it when I see it.

Q2: What inspires your posts?

Everything from beauty in my surroundings to fashion and architecture. Inspiration is everywhere, if you open your eyes and your mind. 

Q3: What has been your biggest challenge as a creator?

Finding my niche and staying committed. There is so much beauty around me, so to stay committed to a certain line of aesthetics is a bit of a challenge.

Q4: And your biggest achievement?

So far, working with a luxury brand such as Roja perfumes was a big achievement as I had a rather low following at that time.

Q5: What would be your advice to anyone wanting to become a creator?

Stay committed and detach yourself from taking it personally. It’s a job and it will take time, be frustrating and sometimes a mind wrecker. But as long as you have fun, you are the winner. 

Q6: Your fave Instagram filter?

I’m not using filters, I edit my photos quickly in Lightroom. I don’t use presets as every photo Is captured in different light and surroundings.  

Q7: Your fave Instagrammers?

I am a big fan of Carola Pojer, Figtny and Erik Forsgren.

Q8: Which camera/lighting techniques do you use?

I use my Olympus pen camera or my Samsung Galaxy S10 phone. I always take my photos in daylight and I stay away from sharp sunlight. If I’m indoors I keep my objects (mostly me) facing a window from the side. 

Q9: What’s your hashtag strategy?

I actually don’t have a clear strategy. I glance over what’s trending once in a while and add the most relevant hashtags to the photo I post.

Q10: The best thing about being a creator is…

To get instant feedback on what I post, to do what I love and to share inspiration all across the world.
