I am an experimental portrait photographer. I use vintage lenses, DIY lenses, and weird techniques to create portrait images. I love to create images that bring a new way of looking at the world. Also, I am a YouTuber who creates videos explaining my experiments and discoveries and I really enjoy doing collaborations with other artists that are not photographers.
Some months ago, I was scrolling through Instagram and discovered the #DrawThisInYourStyle trend, a kind of challenge between illustrators that recreate other artists' drawings in their own style. I was amazed by the quality of the art I saw and I was wondering how I could collaborate with all those amazing artists, as I was not an illustrator but a photographer.
I decided to first contact an illustrator asking if they wanted to redraw one of my portraits in their own style. I told her that I would create a YouTube video about the process and create the first episode with a team of my favorite artists. She said yes and the result she sent me was so amazing that I started to contact every illustrator I liked on Instagram. One month later, I had 16 participants and I had a great looking video of their processes.
The #DrawThisInYourStyle challenge has been SUPER fun and I'm glad I was able to organize this cool collaboration with all those amazing artists. Check the video regrouping process for the 16 artists! I hope you'll like it.

Looks too different from the model. They look like different people in the same pose.
What an egregious dearth of style. What a sad consistency of inability to capture character, lack of insight, variety of technique or viewpoint. Next time ask one artist to draw it 12 times.
That is what strikes me too .. most of the pictures are just cute-ish faces which carry absolutely no resemblance to the model and artists were unable to capture the uniqueness or character of the models. I am a bit old school about portraits - for me the highest art is to capture the real person, his/her character, expression,...

The result is a lot of cartoons, most of which look nothing like the photographic models. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to have gained from this. Am I just too dumb to understand the artistic-ness or something?
I love this post. The photographer is great and the artists he chose to draw his portraits are great. All of the models this photographer uses are wonderful as well. They are all stunning and possess a certain unconventional kind of beauty.
