Photo Revival

Core idea

Keep the subject and scene recognizable, but redraw the image as a fresh illustration on white paper.

Default to:

• 3:4 vertical composition
• large white-paper negative space
• a tiny subject or focal cluster occupying about 10-16% of the page
• delicate hand-drawn texture
• vivid local color only where it matters
• tiny handwritten text, dates, or short captions
