A photo can become more than just an "image" by going beyond measures and taking the photograph and place it in a abnormal place, like JR had did with his photos. Through creativity and going to the extreme with images that can reveal a greater meaning.
2. What affect does size or scale have on the power of a photograph?
The larger the size or scale of a photo it targets the audience attention almost immediately. Drawing them right into the image and getting a close up of all the details of the photo.
3. How does location and context change the way we perceive and understand photographs?
It changes the way we view it through confusion or amazment. When we see models we expect them to be on the runway, when we see actor/actress we expect to see them on tv and singers/dancers on a stage. Yet, when you take a photograph the location can be where ever and whenever just as JR did with the portraits by placing them on the roof. It makes things more interesting and makes a permanent mark in your mind.
4. What can you take from JR's photographs to make your images stronger? How might your pictures become more impactful?
Looking at JR's images it makes me what to expand my horizon and location of pictures and just take chances and do the unthinkable to take amazing photos and play around with them to see what I can create at the end. I think it can make my pictures more interesting and make people look forward to wanting to see them posted.
