I know a guy, here in Porto, , doing paints like that.
You do it with full size sensor and he only uses 1/3 of this.
You´ve your mind more ideas than time to do them alive. He plays with a dramatic lack of creativity. But sells very well , got a name, is fashionable to have a paint of him in home.
Not in mine, indeed.. I do not go by fashion, but by my rules.
In my opinion and I guess in yours , paint and photograph only differ in tools , both are in the mind.
If there are there something and you´ve too many in.
Ciao
