A photo-sculpture is: the reproduction of persons, "animals," and things, "in 3-dimensions by," taking series of photos in the round. And using them as synchronized photo projections——to create a sculpture. The process was invented and patented by French artist (painter, sculptor and photographer) François Willème in 1860. He took a series of photographs from around a subject and used them ——to carve a likeness of the figure. Contemporary photo sculptures are obtained through a process of 3D scanning and 3D printing. The results are small statues that represent the portrayed entity.
Examples of photographic sculptures include the work of sculptural artist Gwon Osang and experimental artist Oliver Herring.
