Cut & Paste
LYNCHPIX  They say the best ideas are the simplest ones & this particular project was exactly that. At each global location, there is a van with a photographic studio setup inside of it.
 Members of the public are then asked to step inside & strike a pose.
 Their portraits are then printed & coughed out the front of the machine.
 –
 The portraits are then brought down to JR & his team who paste them to the surface they are working on- in this case, the enormous floor area of the terrace.
 By the time I arrived, they were already well on their way to covering the gargantuan space in it’s entireity.
 Not long after that, the man himself arrived & we had a quick portrait session.
 –
 Before he headed off to get stuck in!

 –
 The flow of people was relentless- it was a hugely popular installation.
 –
 Then a number of my esteemed colleagues arrived & the main photocall got underway.
 –
 I had one final pass along the terrace before moving onto the second location.

 They’d been a busy bunch. The previous evening, they’d completely wrapped the construction site of development New Ludgate in nearby Ludgate Circus, so I made the short trip east to see how it looked.
 Very impressed I was, too! It was a huge piece of land that really stood out from it’s surroundings- absolutely perfect for pictures…
 –
 There was a really industrial feel about it in contrast with the clean lines & neutral stone of Somerset House.
 As well as offering much more other elements to shoot like footfall & street furniture.
 Well there you have it! JR’s “Inside Out” project. Simplicity is most definately the key. It’s amazing what you can do with some paper & a bucket of paste!
 ENJOY!
