Artworks Beyond Photography..Camouflage Techniques Applied in PGraphy..

 
Camouflage has always been a wonder to us.

It allows animals and plants to remain indiscernible from the surrounding environment through deception.
Adopting this concept, a new wave of camouflage artists use special techniques for  their photographs that allow them to show people blended into their surroundings.
For each photo, the camouflage artist must meticulously design a new camouflage suit in order for the effect to work.
This article features the work of two prominent camouflage artists: Liu Bolin and Desiree Palmen. See if you can find the people in these photographs…

Liu Bolin

Liu Bolin is a Chinese artist who creates art in protest to the actions of the Chinese government, who shut his studio down in 2005. He will work on a single photograph for up to ten hours, and often pedestrians will not notice him until they actually run into him.

Desiree Palmen

Desiree Palmen is a talented Dutch artist who also uses photography to produce her camouflage art.  She patiently paints the camouflage on by hand on cotton suits, matching them to the background.
