What is photo realism?

Photo realism, also known as super realism, refers to the art created by means other than photography to seek a real appearance similar to that of photos This kind of art can be achieved by using pigments and pencils, usually painted on paper or canvas, paying attention to highlights and shadows to create a very realistic effect Some artists use two-dimensional computer software to create still images Although they are artificial, they look like photos Photo realism is also the main goal of many artists to use 3D software to create objects and scenes that can appear in movies and advertisements Artists can create surrealism in many ways, often relying on visual details such as reflections, highlights, and shadows These are the image elements that people perceive naturally in the unconscious state, which can quickly indicate whether something in the image is normal or not For example, painters who paint on canvas must know how light naturally produces highlights and shadows on objects Surface reflectivity is also important for photorealistic painting or similar works, because objects can naturally reflect a certain amount of light in a very subtle way Artists who draw in ink or pencil can also use photorealistic styles For example, some paintings created in blue ink are very similar to photos taken through delicate details Charcoal and pencil painting can achieve a photorealistic effect similar to black-and-white photographs, and the use of strong shadows and highlights often helps to achieve this effect There are a variety of digital media used in photo realism and implemented in different ways The 2D illustration program can be used to create fine and realistic images This is often done by creating vector graphics software that is based on geometry and shape, not pixels and light points 3D computer graphics program can be used to make movies, TV and video games Artists can use this kind of software to create different shapes, objects and scenes in the virtual environment of animation These scenes often take time to achieve the ideal photorealistic effect Light and shadow, multiple surface reflections, and other elements need to be studied carefully and used to create realistic movie images.
