About the video: Have an idea
Overview
“In this lesson we will start to imagine our picture. Place, person or people, light, atmosphere ... the photos as the rest of things, you have to wish them strongly. We can leave the house with a mounted plan, pursuing the image that we see in the head or we can also leave with a machete and enter the jungle of improvisation. I like both ways of working, choose the one that best suits you and enjoy trying.”

A course by Ibai Acevedo
My name is Ibai Acevedo. I was born in Barcelona in 1984 and I am a photographer. The truth is that I would have loved to be able to say that at the age of eight they gave me my first camera, but no! At that time, I was playing with dolls in the bathtub.
In the time before photography and I met, I went on vacation in ordinary places, making friends and even becoming a graphic designer. All of that became history when there came a time when all I thought about was taking photos. However, saying "Something awoke within me" or "I felt a strong inner call" always sounds better.
To this day, like McGiver with the hardware store, I have found a language that saves me more than a thousand words for each image created. If you covered your eyes and forced me to choose among the thousand, I would surely say that I am pioneering a gimmicky style halfway between reality and fiction.
With a weakness for tones and textures that I patent, the ends justify the means. It doesn't matter whether you lie or tell the truth—the important thing is to convey something. Everything is easier than it seems, without poses, rehashes, or complicated tricks.
