One of Nourish and Flourish’s contributors is Blaine Scinta, a freelance brand and travel photographer. We caught up with him recently between trips and asked if  he would share his story with our readers from his own voice. Here is what he had to say.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Hello! My name is Blaine Scinta. I’m a 27-year-old brand and travel photographer based in Louisville, Kentucky. My generation grew up with social media, and over the years have learned how to create interesting stories and original visual content through photography –one good example is the Instagram platform. Instagram offers a unique opportunity for businesses looking to reach their target market with engaging visual content. As with most social media platforms,  Instagram is all about visual sharing. The main goal is to share and find only the best photos and video.

    The key is creating your own original content–not using stock photos.
Creating interesting, authentic visual stories is a gift for me. I consider it a true art form. In the business world, it is a very powerful medium for a brand influencer like me to share stories, moments, and special places captured throughout this amazing journey called life. If my artistic talents can be leveraged to show not only the brands I love and trust, but also an outlet for my creative work, it’s a win-win. Stories are everywhere, and they can help us learn more than we could have ever imagined. My profession connects me to the natural world and affords me the time to enjoy the outdoors and travel. 
​
    Luckily my entire family instilled a thirst for creativity from my childhood. My father F. Scott Scinta introduced me to what it means to think and apply a creative mindset to everything that I do. As an accomplished art director, professional painter, and graphic designer, he (and my mom and the rest of my family) always encouraged my creative side.
