“Thankyou Daniel, for this amazing tutorial and putting your hardwork in creating this. I am extremely grateful. As a complete beginner I find it difficult to connect the dots between, using different tool, layers, mask etc & going back n forth in everything made me confused . Secondly, I felt the need of subtitle as English is also not my first language. But apart from that I really enjoyed the whole process & getting introduced with photo manipulation. ”

Instructor

I’m a professional adventurer, photographer, artist and online instructor with over 16.2k students and 200k people following my surreal art. I've always been passionate about teaching and when I noticed that a lot of artists stay secretive about how they produce their work, I wanted to change that and start sharing everything I've learned. I get pure joy from being able to show others how to do something I specialize in. With editing I specialize in creating pieces of art and modifying the composition of my images at will. The editing techniques I use allow me to transform whatever my imagination can come up with. The opportunities are endless and I can't wait to have you on board.
