Learn professional techniques for creative retouching with Photoshop
Silvia Grav—named by Flickr as one of the 20 best photographers in the world under the age of 20 and who currently works for brands such as HBO, Lexus, and Samsung—teaches you each of the photographic post-production processes and techniques that she has discovered by researching throughout her career.
These are basic retouching processes that, when combined, give rise to very interesting, dreamlike results. Learn to replicate some of the iconic elements in Silvia's photographs, such as the sharp contrasts between light and shadow, the use of smoke in the scenes, and the incorporation of elements from nature in portraits, to achieve an amazing effect.

A course by Silvia Grav
Silvia Grav, born in Vizcaya in 1993, is a self-taught photographer. At the age of 19, shortly after leaving her Fine Arts studies, Flickr included her work in the “20 under 20” ranking, an award given to the 20 best photographers under 20 from around the world. That opportunity brought her to the United States for the first time. Since then, she has lived between Los Angeles, Madrid, and New York.
Silvia Grav has exhibited internationally and has had the opportunity to work for companies such as HBO, Lexus, Samsung, Elastic, and Droga 5, and has given workshops and lectures on her unique experience as a young artist.

Merci de m'avoir permis de découvrir cette photographe et quelques-unes de ses techniques. Toutefois, le débit de parole est très rapide et les sous-titres souvent incompréhensibles. Je ne regrette pas mon achat, mais j'aurais aimé de meilleurs sous-titre et pouvoir ralentir la vidéo.
