Jana und JS are a graffiti duo that does large-scale portraits of photographers. Each piece portrays various shutterbug enthusiasts who look like they're about to take a photograph of the street and its pedestrians. The duo uses stencils to create their portraits, which creates a clean effect.
Jana und JS have also done other types of street art; however, these ironically clever pieces are my personal favorite.
