If you want to transport yourself to a surreal scene far away, you don’t have to hop on a plane. All you have to do is enter Kameliya’s (@limitlessmindgames) profile. It’s filled with magical edits dreamed up from the depths of her imagination. “Nature is another great source of inspiration. When I feel blocked, I just go out and shoot photos,” Kameliya spills about her creative process. “I think that every photo has a hidden story, so I start with editing without a certain idea, and let the picture talk to me and lead me.”
She also gets inspired by other talented PicsArt artists she admires like @veroklo, @maddalena30, @adinaha, @urbexerap, @macmmaya, @venusthecat, @niel86, @freax1 and @evenvita.
Her main tip for creating awesome pictures like hers is: “Experiment and have fun!” Kameliya uses Draw most frequently and advises to “Always try to combine pictures with similar light and colors.” Another useful tip: “Make the different parts of the picture look like one whole piece and do the same when you use stickers.”
Before we find out how Kameliya whipped up this eye-catching edit, which she calls “Aqueous Transmission,” let’s get to know a little bit about her. She’s an optimistic graphic designer, a nature lover, and has a passion for travel. Her hobbies? Photography and editing photos with PicsArt (“the best app for that!”), naturally.
