'Don't believe the things you tell yourself so late at night, you are your own worst enemy.'

Alexia is a huge icon for myself and her followers. The way she captures her images are truly magnificent. She has inspired me and 26834 other people with her instagram and I am very grateful to be able to interview her. As well as a photographer, Alexia is also a model and has a modeled for many magazines. She really is my role model.

TELL US SOME INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF.

Well I don't know what you'd consider interesting, but I'm basically just your average senior student, in love with the world and photographing the beauty I see. My style is quite simple, I like to keep things pretty and natural. I have been modeling on the side, freelance, which is a great experience from the other side of the lens! My Italian greyhound, Lillie, is the love of my life and I like to spend my spare time with relaxing and calm things, music, and candles never fail to comfort me.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ON INSTAGRAM?

I've been on instagram since the start of March 2011, on my first account -@AlexiaBambi- and I have recently made a new one (Alexia_bambi) only about a month ago

HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET THE CHANCE TO POST ON INSTAGRAM?

I try and post at least once a day.

HOW ARE YOU INSPIRED TO TAKE YOUR PHOTOS?

I love the satisfaction of showing you guys my world and how I see it. It keeps me determined and always wanting to seek more. My main inspiration comes from other photographers, whether it be on instagram, blogs or magazines. I'm always looking and learning from others.

WHO ARE YOUR FAVORITE INSTAGRAMERS?

Favorite instagramers, basically all those I follow! But to name a few; @emilieristevski, @barnel02, @gabrielleassaf, @andielinn, @raquelmishel, @brradjack and of course the boy who brought IG to my attenion - @mattshrip.

HAS INSTAGRAM CHANGED YOUR LIFE?

Wow. I think instagram has made a humongous impact on my life, it has opened up my eyes by the way I see the world and the ways I capture it. I never knew photography would become such a part of my existence, as it has now become.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

I like to keep the style of my photos clean, light and simple. Colours are an important part of setting the mood of the photo and my main aim is to create a whimsical sense

DO YOU USE ANY EDITING SOFT WARES?

The majority of my editing is by instagram, otherwise I use Photoshop cs5 (but I'm still teaching myself how to master it) or the apps PicFx, Blendcam and PicFrame.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE MOST?

My favorite things to capture is nature, things I love and human form.

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHO TO FOLLOW?

I follow people who appeal to the style of photography that inspires me.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER PHOTOGRAPHY MEDIA SITES?

I don't have any other photography sites! I have been thinking of using Flickr, but apart from that, I use Tumblr on a rare occasion. I have yet to find something as amazing as instagram!

HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR LEISURE TIME?

My leisure time is usually spent in any relaxing way possible, as I said before, candles and incense. But music is a big part of my life. I guess it's another form from which I seek inspiration. Otherwise I'll be out taking photos, or enjoying the company of my beautiful friends and family.

HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE WHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY STAGE?

The whole photography stage began around mid 2010, from which I saved all my money to buy a camera of my dreams, and managed to by it by the end of the year. It was the best money I have ever spent it on! Beautiful photo's inspire me and make me feel intrigued. It's like candy to the eyes. But instagram my true passions involved, I have never enjoyed life more.

HOW DO YOU WANT TO USE YOUR GIFT IN THE FUTURE?

Although photography is not my aimed career path, I think I will always involve it in my daily life, as a hobby. I find it's something that lets me escape to another world almost, beyond reality.
