About the video: Revealed in raw and editing in Photoshop I
Overview
“Once the photo that we like is selected, it is time to start deciding which edition we are going to give you. I would recommend that before you get to photoshop and start "assembling" the final image, you spend a good time experimenting on the developer (in my case Camera Raw). Try different parameters to see how many faces of the same photo the edit can show. And above all, keep in mind that we are going to treat the image by zones, that is, we can treat it as if it were a collage. Then we will get fully into "the editing" that requires this technique and the corrections of Photoshop.”
In this video lesson Ibai Acevedo addresses the topic: Revealed in raw and editing in Photoshop I, which is part of the Domestika online course: Ghost Light: Lighting Technique and Color Treatment. Learn to make portraits with creative lighting techniques.

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.
