Pencil Drawings vs Camera by Ben Heine

have been following Ben Heine on flickr ever
since I first saw his amazing Pencil Vs Camera
series back in 2010. He is an outstanding
photographer and we are more than happy to
share some of his new works along with the ones
we’ve missed earlier.
Belgian painter Ben Heine has been taking photos
and drawing almost since he was 10 years old.
“Pencil Vs Camera” series is nothing but the
result of several years of graphic exploration and
a logic consequence of his artistic evolution, says
Ben. But the real idea came while he was
watching television and writing a letter at the same
time.
Reading my letter before putting it in the envelope,
I saw in transparency the television behind the
paper. I then realized it would be great to make
something similar in a single image showing 2
different actions. I went outside and Drew “Pencil Vs Camera 1″
which is very simple and shows 2 chairs with a
small table. About ¼ of the scene is represented
on the paper, the other ¾ happens on the photo.
