His name is Ben Heine, we are talking about a Belgian illustrator and photographer who was born in 1983 in Yvory Coast,who is having a lot of success lately on the Web for a collection of different images full of fantasy and reality.
But what is it?
The visual artist combines drawing and photography, with a pencil reconstructing parts of the original photo.
The idea of mixing drawing with photography came to him in 2010. Heine says it was the result of a long graphic exploration and a logic consequences of his artistic evolution."Pencil vs Camera" mixes drawing and photography imagination and reality, through illusion and surrealism.In this project, Heine's usually focuses on architecture, portraits and animals. Among many others, the main themes approached in "Pencil Vs Camera" are love and friendship.Heine says: "I just make art for people. I want them to dream and forget their daily troubles. I used to write poems many years ago, I want to convey a poetic meaning into my pictures, each new creation should tell a story and generate an intense emotion, like a poem, like a melody". This series had a large impact on the graphic design community.Heine says the initial idea of this "Pencil Vs Camera" concept came by coincidence while he was writing a letter. Some of his "Pencil vs Camera" creations have also been related to optical illusions.
In the following video, you can see the extraordinary drawings combined with photographs taken in reality by creating a real "Pencil Vs Camera Images".
Certainly it is something very difficult if we think about it, but Ben has a fun combined with a lot of passion for this particular art ... photography
