Oil Painting or Real Photograph?

What do you think – is this an oil painting or a photograph of some girl?

woman painting

Well, the image may look like a painting at first glance but you’ll very surprised to know that its a photograph of a real woman captured with Canon EOS 50D.

University of Hawaii professor Peter Kun Frary was walking past a cosmetic store where saw a model in full body paint posing against a set. That’s where he shot these awesome pictures using his Canon DSLR.

The picture is served to you straight from the digital camera without any kind of manipulation in Photoshop.
