Infuencer : trend or profession?

In the context of “New Consuming Trends” a course of Panteion University, taught by Mrs Betty Tsakarestou, our team (Shooters) participated in a research project called Mobile Me and You, following the Mobile Collaborative Consumption and Sharing Economy trends.The subject of the project concerns the relationship of Millennials with their mobile phones and their impact on the society and on the market. We decided to focus our research on Photo Editing Apps Applications.

One of the most interesting interviews that we took was with a girl that she is specialist on editing photos. Her name is Viktoria and she studies French philosophy in Athens University. She is 22 years old and she has passion with photography, traveling and of course Instagram.

The very nice part of the interview was that Viktoria sent us her answers through video so we made the whole communication more interactive. Starting with the first part of our interview, she mentioned that shes uses her smartphone more than 4 hours per day and she cant live without it. She told us that she has also other devices but the phone is her favorite and then she expressed that her phone for many reasons either for texting or jobs and Instagram. She follows many influencers because she has now offers from jewellery companies to promote them via Instagram and she wants to be informed of currently trends. In our last question about feeling safe booking apartments or renting cars via applications, she answered that she trusts those ways of booking because there are many reactions from people who experienced a stay or a rent and that makes the whole process easy and safe.

We were very curious about her answers in the second part of our questionnaire because she is very into editing and she haw more than 5000 followers in her Instagram account. So, she began telling us that her best editing app is Vsco because you can find there many filters and you can create there a totally different image but if you want much better filters it is kind of necessary to pay for extra provision. Moreover, she said that she uses editing apps 2 or 3 times a week especially for posting photos in her Instagram account and she revealed us that she doesn't have preference to the device she will take the photos because she is having a good quality both in her smartphone and in her digital camera. She also told us that editing apps are super important for people because everyone can build his own unique style through them. Although, she agrees that sometimes it depends the photo if it needs an extra edit or not. Last but not least, she expresses her opinion that everyone can edit without being a professional.
