As an artist, Jacob Surland has been following the same path since he started as an artist.
When he has photographed a photo, he takes control of the scene and creates his vision in the photo. He adds lights, change colors in a very controlled and conscious manner, to create something else, something unique, his vision, based on the photo. This is only possible through highly complicated and precise digital artwork.
In many ways it is in close resemblance to hyper-realistic painting, only using digital tools to paint and a photo as the canvas. The same knowledge of light and colors is relevant. This artistic approach is called Visionography and gives a unique quality to both color photos as well as black and white photos.
