In the 1970s and 1980s, Byte magazine featured covers with beautiful, surreal paintings by Robert F. Tinney. What if the scenes that Mr. Tinney imagined actually existed in real life? And what if, as Mr. Tinney was painting them, there was a photographer standing next to him, capturing the scene on film?
That’s the idea behind this site. I created and photographed real-world objects and composited the images together in order to show what Mr. Tinney’s images might look like in real life.
I have contacted Mr. Tinney and he has given me written permission to sell prints of these images.
I am working on more photographic re-creations of Byte magazine covers. If you want to be notified when they become available, please contact me. I will never spam you; if you ask to be notified about new photos when they become available, that is the only thing I will use your e-mail address for.
