About the video: The importance of color: the before and after
Overview
“For me, color is a fundamental part of photography. He is a faceless actor who plays a leading role when it comes to communicating. To get the colors you want you need 20% technique and 80% criterion. Throughout the editing process we will be seeing what tools I usually work with when dealing with the image and the different possibilities that we will have. Here comes the criterion, each parameter that we can play with will ask us to make a decision. What green do I imagine for trees? What treatment do I want the asphalt to have? And the coat? ... parameter to parameter decision to decision we will see how we see a photo or another depending on "how we see"”

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.
