FocusOn Instagramers 1.17: @TygerMama

.

Each week, Instagramers.com discovers new people. People addicted to Instagram revealing their lives, passions, tips in Instagram. This week we decided to tribute all these women that are Igers and Mamas!

And what a better way to interview a beloved IGirl from Singapore called @TygerMama !!!

.

Her  name is Stephanie Low…

.

But she prefers to be known as Steff Low cause she thinks her name is too long…

Like thousands of Instagramers, she is Iger and Mama… This kind of women who dedicates their daylife to their children and found probably in Instagram a way to express their feelings and creativity . Or simply a way to share their life with thousands of other Igers all over the world.


Steff lives in Singapore and she is an active member of our Iger group called @InstaSG where she has been featured User of the month of June. Congrats Steff!

InstaSG is one of the most dynamic community in our tiny pic world.

.

This 33 years old lady  is a “stay-at-home mum”… She says, she spends quite all her day time looking after her cute pair of boy/girl twin.  A family life she started 5 years ago now.

..

She discovered Instagram by chance many months ago and i follow her for a while now.

.

I was attracted by the simply and common way she describes her day to day, sharing the colorful world of her kids and probably taking pics with a certain children sight naivety. Her Children´s happiness pics reflect the best moment of her life and reminds us so many parents joyfull pics in IG.

.

Today, her passion is to take lots of pictures of her “kiddos”. She takes take lots pictures of them. Pictures of sweets, cookies, pictures of their paintings and kids sweet moments. A shiny-smily world where sadness just doesnt exist.

Apart from Instagram, she has two other passions. Cooking and Baking even if she had less and less time for it. And you will discover many of her foody creation in her stream.

This is a tribute too, to all these IG parents who are part of our huge Instagramers community and delight us with their happy moments.

We want to thanks her very much to accept participating in our weekly interview.

.

When did you first join IG?

.

I First join IG in mid Dec 2010 after finding out a Facebook friend @tubbykat who posted her pix on FaceBook through Instagram.

.

Why are you so addicted to IG?

.

I´m definitely very addicted to Instagram.  I enjoy so much discovering other users photos and feel there are so many users who appreciate my pics. It´s really a nice feeling!

.

Were you already found of photo before?

.

Yes. I did! While i studied few years ago, at La-Salle, college of  the arts in Singapore.

One of my subject was photography and while i was traveling I loved to take pictures of the places i visited. As you will see I have a special feeling for flowers and sunsets.

.

For you, which are the 3 best pics apps?

.

So far for me its #1 Pudding camera that allows you to soften pictures with little blur effect.

#2 Qbro for its amazing filter choice and you can play around with the density of the filter too.

#3 Lenslight for its lighting effects…bokeh, streaks, sparkles…etc.

.

How long time do you spend a day in IG?

.

I spend about 4 to 5hours on & off.

I usually check as first thing in the morning and I read the comments which has been left over the night and I try to reply as many  as I can. Then I go through my feed to catch up with those I follow and if I had time enough I try to post a pic!

And of course, I dont forget to check out the pop page from time to time.

.

 

How did you get so many followers in so litlle time?

.

I think it´s probably because I made it to the “pop page” pretty often in the middle of my 24 weeks in IG.

Thus, many followed because they liked the way I capture my colourful photos.

Probably followers like  the way I am too… I´m friendly, approachable and widely open to comments and opinions.

I´m always willing too share which apps I used to take my pics and which filters I use to create certain effects.

.

Which is your favorite picture ?

.

My favourite shot is my macro shot of the condensation on the coloured sprinkles on a cupcake cream. It not only captured the condensation very clearly, the colours of the sprinkles and cream turned out very vibrant and you can see the details of the cream too. I love taking macro shots.

.

What have been your first reaction when you had your first Pop?

.

Ohhhh.. I was jumping around my kitchen, saying to myself  “Yes !!! Yes !!! finally !!! ” and I was very very  excited while I typed out all the nick of those who ” likes it ” and landed me on the “Popular page”. It gives you the highest emotion in Instagram.

.


Do your “non Instagramers” friends and family are bothered by your IG addiction?

.

Yes they are !!! Very bothered in fact…

They think I´m always playing games and snapping at everything insight! They are irritated probably because they think I´m wasting their time and my time too.

But they slowly came to realise and understand its my passion… Take pictures and post them on Instagram where people appreciate what I post.

Sometimes, my kids ask me if I would like to take a picture of something they think I might want to, like a flower or a bug, or themselves or a cupcake.

.

A funny anecdote in your short Instagramer life?

.

Hmmmmm…funny I dont remember any  of them at the moment…eeeek…

.

A trick you would recommend?

.

I would recommend to take many shots first and then decide which pictures to use and which filter will help to turn it to what final aspect you are looking for…

.

.

Something you would say to a new user?

.

Join Instagram with an open heart, try to be nice with people.  In Instagram you may not be rude or leave nasty comments.

If you dont like another user pics, just go on to the next picture and that´s it.

Why not posting simple pictures as a cup of coffee, a rose, a sky or another tree? I love it.

Please do not “steal” pics from Instagram or anywhere else and say its yours. It´s really no worth doing it. Be yourself!

.

Thanks very much Steff a-k-a @tygermama to share daily your children smile and happiness.
