There are photographers who do not recognize computer interference in their work, there are, on the contrary, those who change their work beyond recognition. Somewhere away from them is Aaron Nace, a talented US photographer who processes all of his photos, but does not stray too far from the main idea, be it one of the many funny self-portraits or something serious. His art is a meeting between a gouging and a conceptualist.
Aaron Nays is a photographer and photo manipulation specialist (7 years of experience in Photoshop) from Charlotte, New York. Much of his work is focused on portraits. He tries to make sure that each of his work touches the emotions of the viewer. To do this, he uses all available methods and means: flash, clothing, scenography (creating a stage image), subsequent processing.
During his studies at the Institute of Arts, Aaron Nace learned to create brilliant works from literally nothing. After graduating with honors, he traveled the world, trying to find himself, until he realized that photography is exactly what he would like to do.
Unlike many other photographers, Aaron decided to devote a lot of time to photographing … himself. According to him, this taught him a lot, made it possible to “not look like an idiot photographing other people, because a lot of time was spent looking like an idiot, photographing myself”. Apparently, it was at this moment that the gouge and the conceptualist met.
“I love to create things that look realistic but are not real. That is, I kind of create the impossible,”says Aaron Nace in a video presentation on his website“I always sit down at my computer after photo shoots, I never leave pictures unprocessed. It's not enough for me to just take a photo, I want to create something more. I want people looking at my work to think, "Damn, this is cool!" Well, I myself, looking at the finished photo, also want to be able to say: “Damn, did I do that? That's what I am doing!"
By the way, now Aaron, in addition to his main activity, conducts online lessons on everything related to photography. Among his students are young photographers from all over the world, which he is very proud of. “I'm really proud that I can still both teach and learn,” writes Aaron Nace on the website.

And the new mosaic, on which the author is working today, probably cost him more than one hundred cups of strong aromatic coffee, since he lays it out from a million coffee beans
