Check Out This Photoshop Timelapse Video On How This Concept Was Created


Anya Anti is a dear friend of mine who recently posted one of her recent conceptual pieces. This is one of the coolest photos I've seen in a while, but what really got my attention was this incredible Photoshop timelapse video on how she created it. 
 


After seeing it, I had to ask her more about it: 

1. What inspired you to come up with the creation?
Butterflies in my stomach - is an anxious and nervous feeling inside yourself (inside your stomach). This image is metaphor of dealing with stress, anxiety and releasing my inner bugs. I've had issues with dark thoughts and depression for the past couple of years and this image represents my attempt to reconsider my life and to be reborn into a new person. 

2. Do most of your ideas come from within, or somewhere else?
Usually I get inspired with different kinds of visual art like photography, cinematography, illustrations, modern art and installations, paintings. But when it comes to self portraits some of them have much deeper meaning and come from within. They represent my inner feelings and emotions. Yes they are not very clear, but that's why I choose photography and conceptual digital art as a medium.

3. What do you have in the works?
Right now I'm working more on my Youtube channel and thinking about doing a series of editing tutorials and of course more of the BTS for upcoming photoshoots.
