From teens to A-list celebrities, selfies have been
the lastest craze among such amature photographers. This selfie
phenomenon inspired U.K. photographer, Dan Rubin to create a selfie mash-up,
fittingly named “Phonies,” consisting of famous faces on much less famous people.
The photographer found willing, random people
who opted to hold a smartphone, over their face to reflect a celebrity face on
it to appear as their own. Some of the star photos used in this
compilation of mixed up selfies , to name a few, are James Franco,
Cara Delevingne, and Aaron
Paul. It is an interesting sight to see how their faces fit over another
almost perfectly.
This piece is certainly an attention getter but
the question of “Why?” still lingers. Did Dan Rubin think of this concept
simply for entertainment, or to point out that celebrities are just like
everyone else, or is it to illustrate societies thoughts of who we are
versus who we want to be? The answer is left to the audience to decide.
