fotorafik
Fotorafik is a term used in discussions of digital imaging to describe a style and set of techniques that blend photographic capture with graphical rendering and computational processing. Outputs labeled as fotorafik typically aim to look like photographs but emphasize graphic treatments, abstract textures, or synthetic elements that would be difficult to achieve with traditional photography alone.
Origin and usage: The term appears as a cross-language portmanteau combining elements of “photo” and “graphic”
History: The concept evolved with advances in computational photography and image synthesis in the 2010s and
Techniques and characteristics: Common methods include style transfer, texture synthesis, overlay of vector-like graphics, clipping masks,
Applications: Fotorafik is used in fine art photography, advertising, digital illustration, virtual production, educational visualization, and
