More about photorealistic illustration

Photorealistic illustrators specialise in creating images that are so lifelike they can’t be distinguished from reality. This gives their clients the freedom to use characters, scenes and settings in their projects that would be impossible to photograph, yet the images look completely believable. Fish can live out of water, cutaways let you gaze into a piece of tech without breaking it, and every piece of food is gorgeously fresh and ready to eat. The skilled photorealistic illustrator can heighten the realism, smoothing every flaw, with highlights that sparkle, colours that pop and ultra-touchworthy textures. Using both natural media and CGI, photorealistic illustration takes creative perfectionism to another level.
