Collab Tools on Dayflash Connected Michigan Photographer and Cape Town Photographer in a Brilliant, New Collab
Photographers continue to benefit from easier ways to create new connections — and compelling content — through the collab tools on Dayflash!
Dayflash user @jerilile (Instagram username jerilile) is a photographer from Michigan.
“I like to create just about anything that catches my eye and mood. Sometimes, it’s going out and capturing macro shots, landscape, and also portraits. Other times I like to create digital images by using photoshop.” — Jeri Lile, Dayflash user jerilile
Dayflash user @shotsbythomas (Instagram username thomasbenniephotography) is a photographer from Cape Town, South Africa.
“I shoot landscape, nature and model work. I’m very passionate about taking images, I was an environmentalist prior to grabbing a camera and now I want to bring both together through environmental awareness with imagery.” — Thomas Bennie, Dayflash user shotsbythomas

Through Dayflash’s collab tools, Jeri and Thomas were able to easily connect — and form a new collaboration!
“It’s so easy to do a collab. Thomas contacted me to do a collab by tapping the like button on the ‘photo editors’ collab request I had on my Dayflash profile. He sent me a few images to edit and I sent a few images to him. Dayflash’s collab tools are introducing such a great way to meet new people here.” — Jeri Lile, Dayflash user jerilile
Thomas and Jeri met for the first time through the collab request feature!
“Before this collab, I didn’t even know Jeri, but the collab feature on Dayflash has brought us together and now we’re following each other” — Thomas Bennie, Dayflash user shotsbythomas
So, how did this collab happen?
- Thomas discovered Jeri’s profile on the Dayflash app, and then tapped the ❤️ button on one of her collab requests: “photo editors: let’s collab”.
- Jeri got notified that Thomas expressed an interest in her photo editing collab request, and then replied to Thomas’s collab request by sending him a Direct Message on Dayflash.
- Soon after they started chatting, they both edited each other’s photos.

In addition to collaborating with Thomas Bennie, Jeri Lile has also collaborated with Dayflash user Trisha Dahal (Dayflash username trish_dahal2 and Instagram username trish_photographer).
“I’m a freelancer photographer. I was originally born and raised in Nepal and I moved to the United States in 2009. I’m currently in college studying visual art photography. I started photography when I was a sophomore in High School. My friend inspired me to get into photography, and after taking classes I realized how much I loved it. ” — Trisha Dahal, Dayflash user trish_dahal2

Check out the beautiful collaboration image by Jeri and Trish:
Jeri Lile: “Here is my edit with a collab with @trish_dahal2 of her image taken in New York. Trisha saw a saxophone player on the streets of New York and paid him $3.00 to take his photo. 😀 Trisha contacted me to do a collab by tapping the like button on the collab request that I had on my Dayflash bio. It’s so easy to do a collab. We then spoke and she sent me one of her images. So I edited it and turned it into a winter scene.” — Jeri Lile, Dayflash user jerilile
Trisha: “Me and Jeri met for the first time on Dayflash. I tapped the like button on her collab request: “i edit photos + you take photos: let’s collab.” We started talking and I shared a few photos that I have taken. And, she really loved my photo of the saxophone player I saw on the streets of NYC. I told her the story of how I paid him $3.00 to take pictures of him. I sent her my picture to edit. I love working with Jeri — her editing skills are amazing. She is fantastic.” — Jeri Lile, Dayflash user jerilile
During times like now, photo and video editing collabs can be a great way to collaborate with different creators — and expand your network — all from the comfort and safety of your own home!
Reach New Audiences (Through Each Other’s Audiences)
Through Dayflash’s collab tools, Jeri and Thomas, along with Jeri and Trisha, were able to combine their skills, and create beautiful, new photos to share with their followers on social media! This enabled Jeri, Thomas and Trisha to reach new audiences on social media (through each other’s audiences!)
Networking While Lining Up Collabs
Dayflash is a great place to find inspiration — and to grow your network — while lining up collabs for now (or for later). To line up collabs, simply use Dayflash’s collab tools to find people that you can collaborate with now or later, so that way you can fill up your schedule in advance with multiple collaborations with different people. The more collaborations you can plan, the more you can elevate your game as a creator.
“The new tools for collaborating with other users on Dayflash are a breath of fresh air in the social apps space! Especially now since we’re restricted from traveling, the collab tools make it so easy to simply tap the like button on a specific collaboration you’d like to have with an artist, and when the artist accepts y’all can both start messaging each other. So simple!” — Thomas Bennie, Dayflash user shotsbythomas
How Can Dayflash’s Collab Tools Elevate Your Game?
Each new collab that you form can help you…
- reach new audiences on social media (through each other’s audiences),
- improve your skills and learn new skills (from one another),
- create more engaging content (that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to create on your own),
- and attract new opportunities with brands and creators.
Dayflash users @jerilile, @shotsbythomas and @trish_dahal2 all plan to continue using the new collab tools on Dayflash to more easily find the right people for their next collabs — while also using it to grow their network with new people who share their same passion.
