With the term " photo manipulation"readers of Kultorologiya.ru are already familiar thanks to the stunning photo art of the artist Elena Dudina, who uses Photoshop to put together a fantastic picture from pieces of various photographs, in the center of which is a man in the form of an elf, fairy, nymph, or other unearthly, but very beautiful A talented girl from Vilnius, known in creative circles as Natalie Shau … She also works with photoshop and photographs, but her work is surrealism and gothicin general, something very dark, but inspiring and eye-catching. Perhaps Natalie's works attract attention partly because she chooses very famous subjects for her photo manipulations, familiar to many of us from books, films and fairy tales. So, the girl's favorite move is to transform a photo in the style of Lewis Carroll Alice, or a Gothic princess, or Sleeping Beauty, or Snow White. I suppose everyone will find references to familiar images in these pictures. Even if it is "painted" in dark, gloomy tones.
Not only children's fairy tales and films influenced the development of Natalie Schau's creative personality. So, she calls her teachers and inspirers the artists Ray Caesar and Trevor Brown, the writers Gogol and Dostoevsky, and, without a doubt, Lewis Carroll and Edgar Poe. By the way, some illustrations, authored by Natalie Schau, would be very useful to some of the works of the dark and mysterious Edgar.
In addition to playing with photographs for her own pleasure, Natalie also works for well-known labels. For example, at one time she made a number of illustrations for the Courteille jewelry company, which were then published in French Vogue. Her clients also include music companies for which she designs CD covers, such as Island Def Jam, Ogilvy Mather, Sony BMG, Century Media and Nuclear Blast. All illustrations by Natalie Schau are available on her personal website.

This is how ridiculous “tasty colors” and even “delicious new music” appear (this is how he tempts to quote A. Voznesensky: “Don't touch the music with your hands!”).
