Hi Tina,
Actually these type of "photo illustrations" are big money makers for any
photography stock agency where the computer image / designer / artist is
extremly imaginative. We have some at Masterfile in Toronto  that make this
stuff pale by comparison.

It's very interesting, but it isn't "photography" as we understand the word
photography to mean. The bits and pieces may have started out through
exposure in a camera, but that's the end to the shooting a picture in the
traditional fashion. As all the rerst is computer enhancement and
correlating to creating a kind of collage if you like.

And yep I bet she makes a ton of money from this stuff! Sometimes very
difficult for real photographers to swallow that this is considered
photography.
