These are basic retouching processes that, when combined, give rise to very interesting, dreamlike results.

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.

hello
PlusI would love to be able to get something from this course. As it has brilliant source material. However the articulation of the subtitles makes it impossible to follow sadly.

It's impossible to follow the course and get the most out of it with this wrong subtitles. Still recommend the course though because the content is great and Silvia is an amazing artist. but Domestika please work more on the subtitles.

PlusMerci 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.
