권경엽 - Kwon Kyung-yup - a graduate of Sejong University in Korea, begins her process by taking photographs first; this captures all the details and expressions.
She then makes a draft of the photo and paints in on canvas with oil.

Before photography was possible to print, they were used as a research tool in developing wood engraved illustrations.
