Extreme Hi-Def Art

Protomesh HDR Photography Gets Up-Close and a Little Too Personal

— August 19, 2010 — Tech
I never thought seeing an up-close portrait of someone with bad skin, stained teeth and greasy hair would bring a smile to my face. Well, this set of Protomesh HDR photography has done the impossible.

The extreme close-up shots feature a bunch of not-too-flattering mugs. Thankfully, this Protomesh HDR photo series was done all in fun. I can see why some TV starlets fear hi-definition!

Implications - In a world where technology enables consumers to see even the most faraway images up close and personal, artwork that is extremely detailed and adapts to this same pattern is popular among buyers and art appreciators. Photography, videos and even paintings that display exceptional amounts of detail and definition to an almost hyperreal extent are a part of the digital movement.

1. Hyperreal Art - With the rise of technology, artwork that displays exceptional amounts of detail and definition to an almost hyperreal extent is popular among buyers and art appreciators, presenting opportunities for artists to experiment with new mediums and techniques.
2. Extreme Close-up Photography - The extreme close-up shots of Protomesh HDR photography demonstrate that there is demand for images that showcase unflattering reality, presenting opportunities for photographers to experiment with new subjects and angles.

HD in Art and Entertainment - The increasing use of technology that enables consumers to see even the most faraway images up close and personal is driving a trend for hyper-realistic art in all mediums, from photography and paintings to movies and television, presenting opportunities for the entertainment industry to create immersive experiences.
