If your search is specific, acrylic on canvas or acrylic helps narrow the material. If you fix the budget early, you can keep searching with under 500 euro or 1,000 to 2,000 euro. That way you can check in advance whether the technique suits the format you have in mind, for example a portrait or a life-size still life.
Light and viewing distance
Photorealist pictures show their quality from medium distance and in even light. Glossy varnishes can create reflections, matte surfaces dampen them. In detail photos, look at edges, shadow gradients and fine structures such as hair.
