Painterly-style Portrait Photography

Photographs that look like canvas paintings. I'm sure you`ve already seen them.

Since the camera invention photography and painting have always been closely bonded and many photographers have tried to replicate the effects of painting. But nowadays with the digital era, painterly photos seem to get to the next level. 

I invite you to have a look at the masterpieces of such artists like Gemm Woud-Binnendijk, Richard Wood, Chris Knight , Mathilde Oscar or Mikaela Holmberg. It`truly inspiring how they can put together their imagination, some ancient rules of portraiture and the art of photography. 

I`m a big fan of this unique technique by myself. Here you can find some of my Painterly Photographs.
