Photos or paintings? You be the judge (incredible Arctic images!)

The images you are about to see could easily be mistaken for real photographs shot with the latest high end DSLR pro cameras. But, astonishingly they are actually paintings painted by an extraordinarily talented artist named Zaria Forman! The way she managed to convey such realism on a painting canvas is truly amazing. The photo book she released featuring the unique beauties of the Arctic borders on realism and sketching. Beautiful icebergs, choppy seas and incredible blue-white vistas with the most precise highlights, textures and shadows make up the collection of her book.
