'pencil vs. camera' by ivory coast-born brussels-based
photographer ben
heine is a series of images
that inject hand-drawn
pictures within real-life settings to create a composite effect that is often
surreal
and highly narrative. manipulating the backdrop to host added
elements such as real-life tetris blocks,
floating speech bubbles, and an
alcoholic panda, the photographs are an exercise in manual
photoshop,
always including heine's hand which holds up the sketched
piece of paper in the foreground.
alarmingly accurate and
crisply focused, the series puts great care in the alignment and
perspective
required to successfully pull off the optical illusion. heine
creates seemingly effortless snapshots that
are highly imaginative and
contextual.
