The Art of Photographing Human Body Parts in Close-Up
Photographic portraits are meant to emphasize a person’s face features, to give an overview of how they look like and “freeze” their appearance as the years go by. Creativity unleashed portrays not only faces and silhouettes, but also body parts, like lips, eyes, mouths, feet and other expressive parts of the human body. This showcase proves in 50 photos that close-up portraits can be magnificent, can have a meaning and a strong message.

Body parts portraits can reveal many more details than one would be tempted to believe! Lips

Pencil Vs Camera by Ben Heine - Draw As A Maniac
Ben Heine (born June 12, 1983 in Abidjan, Ivory coast) is a Belgian multidisciplinary visual artist. He is best known for his original series “Pencil Vs Camera”, “Digital Circlism” and “Flesh and Acrylic”. “Pencil Vs Camera” mixes drawing and photography, imagination and reality. It’s a new visual concept invented and initiated by Ben Heine in 2010. It’s full of magic, illusion, poetry and surrealism. Ben published his first “Pencil Vs Camera” image in April 2010 but the series is the result of a long graphic exploration and a logic consequence of his personal artistic development.
