Chelsea Yamase is a social media influencer and entrepreneur who loves to go outdoors and take photos of the beautiful places she visits. Her photography is captivating as she expresses herself through them. And people have responded to that very positively.
While many people can have photos on mountains, far fewer were diving to the depths of the ocean. Yamase quickly hit 100,000 followers with her unique, nature-focused shots.
Initially, she was wary about monetizing on her platform as she didn't want to compromise her integrity for the income. This showed her fans that she was genuine about what she did and this helped her platform grow even more. At the same time, she promotes sustainable living and wants to inspire people to go outside.
The concept of being sustainable was something that Yamase was familiar about from a young age. “We’re on an island in the middle of the Pacific. We only have so much," said Yamase. The 30-year old said that part of Kaua'i's culture values keeping the island "beautiful for future generations" by focusing on the symbiotic relationship we have with nature.
