Photos of Everyday Objects That Look Like Simple Drawings

In her photo series “Representations,” artist Cynthia Greig whitewashes and outlines everyday objects, creating photographs that look uncannily like simple line drawings.

My series of photographs, Representations, explores the concept of photographic truth and its correspondence to perceived reality. As a kind of playful homage to William Henry Fox Talbot’s treatise, The Pencil of Nature, the images combine color photography and drawing to create what I like to call photographic documents of three-dimensional drawings.
