I always try to go beyond the ‘ordinary’ photograph.
My Photo-Graphics are an example of it.
A Photo-Graphic is basically a photograph (or photo-collage) with added textures and digital in-painting/drawing.
Here a few of the latest. Let me know what you think of it. (Thanks)
At Studio98 in Napier, South Africa.
