Before the camera was introduced to society as the standard for portraits, painters argued whether a person's essence was best captured by a strictly technical interpretation of physical features, or if an artist could trade physical accuracy to capture a subject's personality.
As a twist on this idea, I have started drawing and exposing photographs on the same piece of paper, hoping that the truth lies somewhere between the realism of the photograph and my perceptions revealed in the drawing.
