In this episode, we spoke with Tezza Barton, an entrepreneur, photographer, and influencer with over a million Instagram followers and the founder of the Tezza app. Next, she shares what she relies on for a successful photo shoot.

I've been a fan of Tezza Barton for many years, ever since her iconic collage kits launched for the first time, so being able to sit down with her and understand her creative process was refreshing. A photographerentrepreneur and founder Tee tease app, she is warm, down-to-earth and endlessly passionate – the kind of person who makes you feel any can be creative even if your last attempt at creativity was drawing in the margins of a notebook. “I've always been obsessed with helping people see art in their everyday lives,” she tells POPSUGAR. “All people are creative; they just need the tools to make it happen.”

What I like most about Barton is her realism. She knows that creativity doesn't always require effort—it requires curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to try. “Sometimes it's harder to find your spark, and you just have to start doing things and not be afraid to show it,” she says. “My favorite photographs are made from moments that I didn’t think about.” This combination of planning and spontaneity is reflected in everything she does—from the Tezza app, which helps users edit and edit photos with ease, to “Tezza Magazine,” which celebrates creators living purposeful, creative lives, and soon, an in-app photo booth that brings playful and candid content right to your fingertips. “It’s all about making creativity accessible and fun,” she says.

Of course, all this creativity starts with the right tools, and Barton shares some of the tools she relies on during photo shoots. From lighting to skin carethese are the products that help her bring her signature aesthetic to life, whether she's shooting for an app or magazine, or simply satisfying her endless curiosity about art, fashion, and storytelling.
