This is a famous example of an image being appropriated by an artist. Shepard Fairey has taken this iconic photograph of Barak Obama and used graphic design to make it his own. Photographer, Mannic Garcia, has called Fairey on his blatent appropriation, to which someone replied:
"To photograph is to appropriate the thing photographed"
I would like to use appropriation throughout my entire project as i think it would be a challenge to alter the images enough to make them my own without making the image unrecognisable.
