The Darkroom Podcast - A podcast by Darkroom

In this episode of The Darkroom Podcast we got the chance to talk with storyteller and photographer Vanessa Rivera. Starting her creative career just two years ago, Vanessa has found an incredibly unique way to tell stories by creating surreal edits of herself, her husband Anthony and their 3 kids. As her career began taking off, we hear how Vanessa shifted into a full-time creative, taking her family all around the world and convincing her husband to leave his job. Inspired by the works of Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein, Vanessa begins her creative process by sketching the shot with her husband, leading them down a path to bring that idea to life. Her edits make any artist question their photoshop skills and quickly caught the attention of Adobe. After Vanessa submitted concepts to the Adobe team, she found that her image was chosen as the splash screen for Photoshop 2020. Vanessa lives her life with the same spontaneity that her images exude and we're excited to share her story, enjoy!
