JR
JR is a parisian artivist (an activist and an artist) he shoots black and white portraits of the people in cities and illegally prints them large scale and pastes them onto the walls of the city they inhibit.
He is a great inspiration of mine and i am lucky enough to go to his latest project 'InsideOut' in London on Tuesday! So i will document the day and upload it on here for you to see.
The InsideOut project is where he travels to several cities with his photo booth truck and takes black and white portraits of the people that go and pastes them on the floor, walls and buildings of that city, it is quite a privilege to think i will be involved in his work.

My trip to London to see JR
On Tuesday 8th October i travelled to London to see and be part of JR's inside out project. When i got there after a very long bus journey at 6am i found that he wasn't at Somerset House that day it was just his team! but i took pictures anyway and tweeted him my disappointment at not being able to meet him personally. To my shock he replied! Inviting me to go to the premiere of the InsideOut project film that was at the Prince Charles Theatre that day at 3.45pm! I couldn't believe that he actually replied let alone put me on the guest list to the premiere in Leicester Square amongst parisian film critics!
Here are the images i took to document the experience:
A once in a lifetime opportunity!!
