But if he wasn’t a photographer he wouldn’t have the skills to get his base materials to create this. He is a photographer AND digital artist, its not an either or thing. So maybe its not a pure photograph, but it is photographic digital art, and needs an even wider skill set than pure photography, he had to photograph with his end result in mind, and get proper exposure etc just like any other photo. And unless the point is journalistic, at what point do we care that how much post processing went into it, as long as the end result meets the purpose of the creator and the creator doesn’t present it as an example of something it is not. In this example it would be pretty hard to misrepresent it and he even shows his process, so I just think it is cool :)

Really well done! I’m glad they thought about filming the process behind an image like that, it helps make people aware of how much work goes into a piece like that.

So awesome. His use of paper is really clever! Get “real” shape & shadow dynamics without having to guess.

All the folks bitching about “its not real photography anymore” bla bla fish paste: go live with your grandmother & be old there.

Really really fantastic piece again, Mike. The guy’s got mad skills. Regarding the piece of paper, it’s a quick, easy way to make sure the lines and shadows are bang on – totally understand why he did it.
