It's as if he projected the photos onto canvas and traced over them. His Asia "collection" exactly mimics the photographer's Asia collection of photos. There is no creativity involved at all, and, even worse, no credit given to the original artist whose work is being copied. Dylan claims in the interview that he paints from real life, not photographs. That is obviously a lie.
