>>59980You would have a blast with this guy. It was at that translucid stage and I could see all the organs moving in there. It didn't came out in the picture at all. It was quite a challenge to get even these done. All I have is an old smartphone and a magnifying glass. It was around half cm long.

My mom made this cat. It's made of two types of clay, one for the body and one for the eyes.

What's the point of photorealistic painting anymore if you can just take pictures?
No.60902
>>60886from afar they are no different really, but a painting has texture and if you get very close it is often messy and chaotic which is cool
No.60903
>>60886The same "points" there are in any creative or reproductive artistic endeavor. The act of painting still-life or portraits benefits the artist and end customer in ways photos can not. It's fun to paint anything, it's a fair challenge to reproduce a real thing accurately, skills learned from reproducing something can be applied to creative tasks, and the end product has a material presence that many people value.

>>60886>What's the point of photorealistic painting anymore if you can just take pictures?Namely that the human reproduction of reality and the camera's aren't the same, even when one can be substituted for another. Witness testimony is notoriously inaccurate, as the mind will fill in a gun just from the gesture of pulling a gun. All vision, to us, is filled with such gestures.
The camera simply emulates the human eye, which has little to do with perceiving reality. We know this because other animals employ different configurations of eyes, or no eyes at all.

>>60886You can videotape yourself doing photorealistic paintings. That video would in itself be a very valuable piece of art, and the painting almost only being a leftover relic of it.

>>60920I was just reading a article on hyperrealism including looking at the art of the most renound artist in the style.
I definitely prefer it over standard photorealism even if I am not a fan of the politics behind many of the works.

Is it possible for a quadriplegic to do photography as a hobby?
No.68034
>>48726>Any photography hobbyists here?I suppose I'm a pro actually.
I went through a course, got certificate and I've went through a couple of months of practice in a studio. I did some photos during a wedding, a baptism or two, learned how to put them on mugs (like pic related), did some photo restorations, but mostly did boring photos of people for their documents like passports and driving licenses.
That being said, my photos are still fucking ugly and I don't have much to show. Somehow once taking photos became a job it also lost a lot of its appeal as a hobby and I haven't touched my SLR camera in years. Funny how that works.
