At only 12 years old, Wildannfree (Annie) has became a huge inspiration on instagram, inspiring so many people with her amazing photos! Her pictures in some way, tell a story. And I'm pretty sure everyone would like to find out about Annie's story!  So I here I present to you, the marvelous wildannfree's interview.



TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF.
I am an aspiring 12 year old artist with big dreams. My name is Annie, I live in the southern states. I adore history class, big tall trees, summer air, old cameras, Florence and the Machine, Carnivals, pretty things, Ferris wheels, handwriting, hippy braids, poetry, lace, grand pianos, dandelions, satin, snowflakes, navy and white and taking notes. When I'm not at school or out on a photoshoot, I love to write, blog and sit around doing absolutely nothing!

WHEN DID YOU FIRST JOIN INSTAGRAM?
I don't have the exact date (and that completely kills me) But I started on the week of thanks giving 2011. I never really started to use it until 3 days after I downloaded it, and I was sitting in the front seat of my mums minivan with my phone and remember taking a chiche car mirror shot.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET THE CHANCE TO POST ON INSTAGRAM?
I try and post at least once a day, but i'll often post 2 or 3 a day on the weekends. I feel really self-consiuous about how much I post and if anyone gets really bored of me haha.


HOW DO YOU FIND YOUR INSPIRATION?
Everything inspires me. When I see photography I love, I like to take a screenshot of it and keep it in a folder on my Iphone. Then If  I get stuck in the woods, I can open the folder and get a quick idea. I also feel like what's going on in my personal life reflects onto my photos a bit.

WHO ARE YOUR FAVOURITE INSTAGRAMERS?
@Savannnnnah for her gorgeous edits and creativity.
@runaway for how original her feed looks and how beautiful her settings are.
@youngcreature again for her edits and the fact that her feed is entirely made up on iphoneography.
@and_then_there_were_ none because shes around my age and her photography is haunting and unique.
Everyone one of those 101 people I follow are serioulsy so talented! I could list forever 

HAS INSTAGRAM CHANGED YOUR LIFE?
Yes defiantly! I have OCD and anxiety and it's defiantly helped me deal with that. It's made some people (psst ... @achilduntamed) that I would have never otherwise become friends with my greatest friends ever! It's helped me feel driven to go out and experience God's creation every day. And, It's helped me grow in photography.


WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE MOST?
Well, If I have my camera with me, you can bet I'll be snapping everything around me. But I absolutely lovelovelove having photo shoots with my best friend @achilduntamed. She's tiny and doesn't care If i push her around haha. Also- trees and pine cones and old cameras!

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?
I always thought my photos were kind of abstract- more art than photography, if that makes sense?

DO YOU USE ANY EDITING SOFTWARES?
I use my Iphone for all my effects (I also collab with other amazing photographers like @abisanfel) When I first downloaded Instagram I was downloading editing apps like crazy! But my Favorites would have to be PictureShow, PicBoost, Camera+, snapseed, and PXL. I also use instagram filters like Inkwell, Valenica and Rise.


HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHO TO FOLLOW?
I follow if I am absoltley head over heels for their feed, as a whole and in terms of individual photos. I also follow people who have a nice attitude.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER PHOTOGRAPHY SITES?

HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR LEISURE TIME?
Taking photos, spending time with my friends, writing, graphic and fashion designs. I love spending my weekends in the forest just behind my house. It looks like a rain forest in the summer!


HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE WHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY STAGE?
My mum had her own photography business, and I liked to take pictures of everything when we we're travelling (my family travels a lot) I started doing photo shoots with my friends and for a summer arts and crafts blog I did a few years ago. I tried a bit of creative photography in January, and I've just kind of been experimenting with what I like and different tones/styles of photography.

HOW DO YOU WANT TO USE YOUR GIFT FOR PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE FUTURE?
I want to be a photo journalist for the national Geographic and travel the world! Or possibly be a fashion photographer. Whatever happens I would defiantly like to continue photography, whether I make money out of it or not or its just a hobby! I've never been happier and love what I do.

Instagram Interview with SavanahEden.

I got a lot of emails recently and requests asking If I could do an interview on myself! I was pretty shocked to hear that so many people wanted to know about me as well as these wonderful photographers. I can't really say impressive things about myself so I'll just leave that up to you guys to decide. 


TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF.
Well my names Savanah Gray, I'm 14 years old and I'm from a small town called Norwich. My favourite music genre would have to be rock pop and my favourite band is Blink182! I also have a dog named Simba who is a Rhodesian ridge back and he is the love of my life.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ON INSTAGRAM?
I can tell you the exact date I joined because It was my Birthday!:D It's the 25th of October 2011. My dad actually got me interested in this, at first I did not have a clue how to work instagram! But then after a month I got the hang of it.


HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET THE CHANCE TO POST ON INSTAGRAM?
I try and post once a day, maybe two If I feel like it! But I can't promise anything when I have such rubbish internet at home!

WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO TAKE YOUR PHOTOS?
A lot of things inspire me! Who I follow on instagram, quotes, mainly stuff that relates to me and I try and relate them feelings into pictures.


WHO ARE YOUR FAVOURITE INSTAGRAMERS?
wow I can name so many favorites! But the main one would have to be @Savannnnnah! She's everyone's idol and such a role model to young aspiring photographers. I just can't get enough of her photos.

HAS INSTAGRAM CHANGED YOUR LIFE?
Yes defiantly! If it wasn't for instagram I wouldn't be having this interview! Or even make this blog! It has made me such a better photographer and I can now be impressed with how my photos turn out! I'm so addicted to it that I can't even get ready in the morning for school because I'm on it 24/7!


WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE MOST?
I like to take pictures of humans really? Or myself, Hopefully that doesn't sound to vain haha! But that's only because I don't really have any models to work with but It's better to take photos of yourself because that way you can get it right and how you wanted the photo to turn out!

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?
I think I'm a like a bit of everything. But I like to experiment with new ideas! Lately I have been working with Darkness and I have to admit I think I'm liking that style better than my other photos. 



DO YOU USE ANY EDITING SOFTWARES?
Yes! I use photoshop for my levitation photos. It's pretty tricky but I think I'm getting the hang of it. I used to use Picnik but that was shut down in April which made my life end!:( Now I use PicMonkey for almost every photo of mine!

DO YOU USE ANY OTHER PHOTOGRAPHY SITES?
I have Tumblr but I don't post much of photography photos on there :)

HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR LEISURE TIME?
I spend a lot of my time actually going out with my friends. We do like to party haha! But apart from that I usually edit photos and keep up to date on my twitter.


HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE WHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY STAGE?
I actually started photography when my sister first bought her own camera. I was very intrigued by the camera and the way it worked and I guess I just connected with it! Then my dad bought be my first camera which was a fuijfilm which was good while it lasted but now I have a cannon which is the love of my life.

HOW DO YOU WANT TO USE YOUR GIFT FOR
 PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE FUTURE?
I wouldn't call it a gift but I like to call it a hobby. I hope to continue this into my future and hopefully one day produce films as  a new hobby and hope to give kids inspiration.
