"Pencil Vs Camera" mixes drawing and photography, imagination and 
reality. It’s a new visual concept invented and  initiated by Ben Heine 
in 2010. It's full of magic, illusion, poetry and surrealism. Ben 
published his first "Pencil Vs Camera" image in April 2010 but the 
series is the result of a long graphic exploration and a logic 
consequence of his personal artistic development. Ben usually integrates
 an inventive hand made drawing in front of a realistic background. 
There are several methods to achieve the same effect. Ben’s hand is always clearly visible; it represents the
 close connection between the viewer, the artist and the artwork. The 
drawing is either in black and white on white paper or in color on black
 paper, while the photo is often very colorful, this amplifies the 
contrast between the two mediums.
