You say you use image manipulation, can you explain a little bit about how you create these surreal images? It is very different with each image. I have done images where everything is done before taking the actual picture, where I have done as little as possible in Photoshop - only things that would have been dangerous to do. (Editing out hands that are holding a child or things like that.) But also I have done images where most is done in post production. Where I have composited things from one place to another or have completely created the setting in Photoshop. So, I don't have a rule or a certain way to do this, I just do whatever I can and feel like at the moment. Mostly I do try to do as much on location as I possibly can, but the amount of pre or post production varies quite a bit. What are your plans for the future? I have not made specific plans for my future, but I do dream! I hope to get better at what I do. Not only technically but better in every aspect of image making and also to be happy and fulfilled in the process. 48 | PicsArt Monthly
