So I've been super hit or miss on posting some playing card photography, but I've been busy with some other photography work. I finally made some time to shoot the Playing Arts deck Edition One, and was inspired to do an "art" series. Playing with paints, brushes, and canvas I wanted to bring out the fact that every single card in these decks was created by one superb artist after another. Each deck has 52 different pieces of amazing art, and I wanted to make that my theme for this shoot. ---------- Photo Series: The Art of Art Deck by: @playingarts ---------- #jwalshphotos . . . . . #playingcards #playingcardart #cardporn #cards #photooftheday #picoftheday #artofvisuals #instacards #photo #canon #photoshoot #canon_photos #teamcanon #playingcardart #cardart #kardify #useyourcards #cardcollection
