Drawing vs. Photography

Photographer and illustrator Ben Heine marvelously combines his sketches and photographs in the ongoing series "Pencil vs. Camera!"

According to Ben, "The real idea came while I 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 two different actions." Each photo was illustrated, shot and edited by Ben.

Based in Brussels, Belgium, Ben studied graphic arts and sculpture and also has a degree in journalism. Images copyright Ben Heine. A limited series of prints are available at BenHeine.com.
