Getting to the Point





Pointillism: a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of pure color are applied in patterns to form an image.










A new venture in Pointillism by Philip Karlberg using photography.




 

FROM KARL'S BLOG
A couple of months ago I came up with an idea I have had in mind for years. I just did not know what I could use it for. But then I did a test with sunglasses, and it really turned out great. So I sent an image with the test to Plaza Magazine, and a week later I started shooting.
It was a real challenge to ”sculpture” the faces of some classic wearers of sunglasses. It took me 6 days to shoot the 6 faces, and around 1200 sticks was used.

Georges Seurat would be proud.

Love,
Buddy
