Photo-Illustration in progress

[Edwin Bont]

I like photography and I like to paint and draw as well.
I made some photo-illustrations before, for a book:

I like combining different media.

Right now I am working on a photo-illustration, a bit similar to the other illustrations i made but now I am using oilpaint which makes it look so much better.
This series of illustrations will be about my uncle (who died exectly one year ago when he was 81).

The first one will be set in a factoryhall with a stockroom were my uncle used to work his whole live.
When he told me about it I always visualised how it would look like.
So now I am making all these pictures I saw when he told a story.
He told enough storys about his live to fill a book.

Here is some work in progres:

Great work Edwin, gets even more interesting after reading about your uncle.

So you're the one telling a story now. :)

These are amazing! Very creative, even before you pick up the camera!
