Could you introduce yourself in a few lines so that our community can get to know you better? How would you define your style/universe as a fashion and travel influencer?
Hi there! I'm Elodie, and I'm sharing on Insta via my @look_elo account my outfits of the day, in all styles and especially colorful! I like to mix old and new pieces to avoid over-consumption and show that you can, and should, know how to compose and have fun with your wardrobe.
Date of creation of your social networking activity as afashion and travel influencer ?
I started on April 15, 2018.
What triggered you and why did you embark on your social networking adventure with instagram?
I'm a bit ashamed to say it, but it's the truth... Looking at other girls' fashion pages, I thought I had my card to play and certainly my place on the network, as my style has always been highly praised in real life on a daily basis.
How much time do you spend on your articles or videos? Production, editing...? Do you have any organizational tips for other influencers? fashion and travel ?
It takes me an average of 1/2 hour to make a post, between taking the shot, then retouching the contrast and luminosity, and finally writing the caption. I don't use filters so as not to distort the colors of the clothes. I also spend a few minutes presenting the outfits in the story, but that's done on the spur of the moment, without any special work.
What community and audience are you targeting?
Girls who seek inspiration from the latest trends and love to share their passion for fashion!
Where do you find most of your inspiration? And which social networks do you use most?
I work exclusively on Instagram. I find my inspiration by looking around me, in the street, on TV in magazines and also on the social network. Above all, I hope to do what I want, because I don't want to stick to the diktats that are too present on social networks for my taste.
How do you manage your time between family, work and social networks? Do you have a job or an activity other than your work?'fashion and travel influencer ?
Influencer is not my job at all, but merely a hobby. As a result, this activity has to keep a moderate place in my life. I have a job as an executive manager, which already demands a great deal of involvement, and other passions, such as travel and sport. I've reduced the amount of time I spend on the networks, because at one point it became too much. The system is too addictive and pushes you to spend more and more time on it, and that was no longer possible. Now I post less, without putting pressure on myself, and I know how to switch off my phone when I need to. I'm happy with my life balance this way.
Do you produce your own visuals and photos? And if so, what equipment do you use?
I work with a tripod most of the time, and it takes quite a long time. When I get a chance to see her, my mother takes a few photos, which saves me time. I use my phone and a compact camera for indoor shots.
What advice would you give to other influencers in the community?
If you're not making money with Instagram, then it's not a profession or even an option. Don't sacrifice your life to it, and just stick to sharing and enjoying making pretty pictures for those who'll enjoy following you! Without expecting anything more. There are also beautiful things to experience outside the networks.
What would you like to undertake or develop next in your life as an influencer? fashion and travel ?
I'd like to talk more about my other passions, but I don't yet know in what form.
