At first glance, you might not think there's anything particularly
unusual about these photos of these women but if you look a little
closer, you'll see they are in fact paintings. They are the result of
painstakingly long hours of brushing layer-upon-layer of oil paint. The
work of 41 year old Philipp Weber, a hyper-realistic artist .
Philipp says whenever he starts a new piece, he first brings his ideas
to life through a photo-shoot with models, make-up artists and a team of
snappers.
Philipp works from the photos to create a replication which is entirely
painted - and he says this is where he brings the models to life.
The first layer forms the basis and then he builds on the layers, until
the overall form becomes visible and "the desired intensity and intimacy
is reached".
