Creator Spotlight: Surrealism with @Escapingyouth

It feels so good to be back, and I am thrilled to introduce you to Natalia Seth @escapingyouth. Seth is a 17-year-old self-taught surrealist photographer, whose passion for photography began at the age of 14. Seth captures everyday objects or scenes and then transforms them into extraordinary experiences. When you start scrolling through her profile, you'll soon realize how addicting her feed is-to the point that it becomes nearly impossible to stop looking at her work. Her endless creativity has earned her over 200K followers along with a series of collaborations with major brands like GrubHub, LoveSac, and Zevia. So, after obsessing over her for months, I had to reach out. She kindly gave me some FaceTime after her long week of final exams, allowing me to pick her brain about everything from her process to brand collaborations.First, what apps do you use for your photos?I don't typically use apps to edit my photos, but more for filtering them! VSCO and Snapseed are amazing for coloring and local adjustments. For the actual manipulation part, I use Photoshop.Who inspires your content and style?I learned Photoshop through a YouTube channel called Phlearn. It's a Photoshop tutorial channel that taught me basically everything that I know (other than me aimlessly clicking buttons and figuring out what everything did). So they're a HUGE component of what I am today. Also, Rosie Hardy (@georgiarosiehardy) is incredible at surreal photography. Her style includes models with big dresses in mystical places, which is my kryptonite.
