Do you find any special reason why these 3 guys are standing beside a photo? No? The fact is that this photo is no photo. Confused? Yes this is actually a painting! This is a photo realistic painting of Tica by Dru Blair. Check out the various stages of painting & a close up
It probably took a total of around 65-75 hours to complete. The small images are step by step photographs taken during the painting process

Pro I can't see the point of doing it...if it looks exactly like a photograph, why not have a photo? Klimt did perfect portraits amongst his earlier works, but the surroundings of the portrait made it clear it was a work of art...these just look like photos...not my cup of tea I'm afraid...GBHs...
|no not mine but if it is real good luck to the bloke art is art and you cant take that away from anyone.
i am off to the lollipop party why dont you gate crash

There was a bloke, back in the late 70's here in the USA, that used to do that with horse portraits--until you got right up to the painting to see the (almost invisible) brush-strokes, you'd swear you were looking at a photo--it's not a type of painting just anyone can do.

I have a photo' of myself and my baby, taken in 1981, it is printed on canvas, and looks like a piece of artwork, so it seems that the reverse is happening now, people doing art to look like a photo! The circle turns again eh?

Pro It's true, why go through all the trouble of painting for hours and hours when the result looks exactly like a photo.
But I still admire his skills. I couldn't do it!
the point is the journey you go through to create it,and learning how to master materials. Its skill far and beyond most artists, and I think thats why they knock it. If you can paint like this you can paint anything, with the added bonus that there nothing in or left out that isnt intended. its beyond intellectualising accidental inference. Its a painting, Ive seen it.
sorry - I mean accidental effects, not accidental inference.

I think this is either a hoax or an exercise in stupidity.
The various stages look like photoshop used badly.
