A portrait and documentary photographer based in Riverside, California, Raymond Alva (@rapberry) combines his passion for exploring light and color with his desire to document his subjects’ unique stories. Here’s how Raymond edited the cover for R&B artist Shua's single "Fix Myself To Death": "We wanted the photos to have a similar feeling to film. We achieved this by flattening the curves and adding a slight s curve. Open up the shadows while still darkening and brightening the mid-tones. The world is not a perfectly clean place, and the texture in photos will reflect that." Remember to share your images using #editwithus for a chance to be featured. Are you a student or teacher?
