Photorealism
Photorealism includes painting, drawing, and other visual techniques, in which artists strive to recreate a photo image with the utmost realism.
Photorealism is an artistic style where the artist uses mediums other than photography to create scenes that closely resemble photographs taken with a camera.
Photorealists aim for a straightforward representation without introducing emotions or intent. In contrast, hyperrealism artists infuse narratives and emotions into their artworks, allowing for a more flexible interpretation and emphasising social or political messages.
