Can you imagine seeing the first photograph of a person? Like all you'd ever known was paintings and then one day someone shows you a glossy, pixel-perfect photograph of yourself.

Photos didn't start perfect and neither is this black magic of recreating a person's speech patterns.

Hard to imagine a world without photographs.

This is not a photograph. This is a drawing by someone who never saw the subject but has had the subject's appearance described to them, and the artist is not even a person to properly understand the descriptions, being presented as a photograph.
