5 Photo + art mixed styles
Real photography combined with illustration: ink wash over a photo, scrapbook collage, doodles drawn around a subject. They keep a recognisable photo at the center and add a hand-made layer on top.

Second World Split
Two-part image that reads as one scene: one half a real, unretouched photograph; the other half warm ivory paper where the scene continues in a few photo fragments, paper cut-outs and minimal black hand-drawn lines.
Photo + Ink Wash
Two-part image: one half a real photograph with a light, refined art-magazine grade; the other half the same scene distilled into a minimal ink-wash painting on milky white paper.
Photo Scrapbook Collage
Editorial scrapbook collage: a real, sharp photograph mounted on warm ivory handmade paper, tearing open along a fibrous edge and continuing outward as a minimal hand-drawn ink illustration.
Photo + Pixel Mosaic
Two-part art poster: one part a realistic photograph; the other part the same subject rebuilt from hundreds of small square tiles on clean warm ivory paper, in a few harmonious shades taken from the photo's palette.
Photo + Doodle Background
Before-and-after image: one panel the original photo, the other the same person, still fully photographic, cut out cleanly onto warm cream paper.
