MARC LORET
French photographer and photoshop artist, Marc Loret, has enjoyed almost a cult status on the web with his artistic dreamy pictures of the world around him.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORK?
My work is all based around my photographs. It's in photoshop that I turn them into my poetic vision of the natural world.
WHEN DID YOU START CREATING ART USING PHOTOSHOP AND WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT IT?
When I got my first computer (13 years ago), I was curious about everything. That new passion even lead me to work in a computer shop for five years. Photoshop was a part of that process and I was having fun playing with photos or illustrations. It always fascinated me that some people were good enough to create a world starting from nothing. This tool is very powerful.
HOW DO YOU START ON A PARTICULAR PROJECT? WHAT DO YOU BEGIN WITH?
WAS THERE ANY PARTICULAR STYLE OR ARTIST YOU WERE DRAWN TO OR INSPIRED BY?
I consider nature as the main artist that inspires me, then artists that were inspired by nature such as Monet and Van Gogh. Other than that, I really appreciate oriental art, street art, pop art and land art.
It always starts with a long walk into Nature equiped with a camera.
WHAT TOOL OR TOOLS IN PHOTOSHOP DO YOU USE THE MOST? ANY TOP PHOTOSHOP TIPS?
I guess my favorite tool is the magic wand tool. My big tip is not to rely on the 'auto' tools. Your eyes must be the only judge if you want to be unique
