But my skills and experiences are forever with me, so I'd like to hope it won't be as difficult as the first time now that we have just moved to Los Angeles. Since then I lived in Denver, Omaha and now in Los Angeles, and it's always the same cycle that I have to go through and build my business from the ground up in each new town. That was also the time that I started working as a freelance photographer in Melbourne, Australia. I loved those experiments with different tutorials, and I did learn a lot about the software from them. I have to thank you guys for making this wonderful hands-on education available for aspiring artists form all over the world. I remember digging through Psdtuts+ tutorials a lot during my photography course. I got consumed by my passion for photography and visual arts, and ended up quitting my secure and well-paying job in Finance to go to Australia to study photography in 2008. That's how I got interested in retouching.
I would open them in Photoshop to see how I could make them better, since my lighting and posing skills were pretty poor at the time. Many years later, I bought my first camera and started taking pictures of family and friends. It wasn't practical to be a creative professional back then, so I chose a completely different path. I started painting and drawing very early and drifted away from it when I went to college to study Finance. I think my journey as an artist began when I was a child. Thank you, Grant! I am originally from Moscow, Russia. Can you tell us a bit about your background? Where are you from? What was it about photography and retouching that convinced you to do it for a living? QHi Julia, thanks so much for taking the time to talk with us today.
