Social media influencers and the world of Photography.

Grab a cup of tea, kick back, and open your eyes up to the photographers who display some of today's social media influencers in a creative light.


The biggest social media photographer on the web!


Firstly, take a look at this beautiful, eccentric work by Bryant Eslava. He's a 26 year old freelance photographer from Los Angeles, California.
Eslava, more known by his pseudonym, Bryant, became one of my favourite photographers last year when I discovered a YouTube duo named The Dolan Twins, whom Bryant is great friends with. 


Bryant specialises in portraiture photography, and location is also a key feature in where he captures his imagery. As a social media photographer, he captures gorgeous shots of influencers and actors like; Noah Centineo (To All The Boys I've Loved Before, Sierra Burgess is a Loser), Emma Chamberlain, Cameron Dallas, Liza Koshy, and Summer Mckeen.


Bryant has also travelled to scenic locations like Paris, Venice, Sydney and Bali just for his photoshoots, which are all displayed on his Instagram account: @Bryant.


I fell for Woelfel!


Another talented photographer, who specialises in more low-key photography on social media, is Brandon Woelfel. Woelfel's editing skills really caught my eye upon seeing his 'before and after' featurettes on his Instagram page: @BrandonWoelfel.



Unlike Bryant, Woelfel likes to use props with his portraiture photography, and location isn't very important to him as he finds the beauty in places that others usually wouldn't. Like Bryant, Woelfel also captures imagery of social media influencers. His work has contained Youtubers like; Kian and Jc, Gabbie Hanna and the Merrell Twins.



Woelfel uses the Adobe softwares, Lightroom and After Effects, to edit his photography which inspired me to learn more about the software as I am a regular Photoshop user, like Bryant Eslava who I previously mentioned. Woefel completely takes editing to the next level, what with his crazy edits of neon colour, fireworks, and animated imagery of snowfall and sunspots.

Welcome to my first post.

When I was 17, I found a love for photography. Whether that be environmental or portrait, my new-found passion was to produce content that could inspire me to appreciate the world and it's beauty.

It technically started through choosing new subjects to study in college, after completing a level in media studies. As the subjects linked together in various ways, taking photography seemed like it was a perfect option. I was soon bought my first camera, a Canon 1200D DSLR, which allowed me to discover more ways of producing images that didn't come from an iPhone.

Soon enough, classes began and upon our first project, I took a trip to the Bourne Woods outside Farnham and did my first environmental shoot.
