  Photograffeur: This term combines photography and graffiti. JR uses a mixture of the two in his artwork, so this is what he calls himself.
  
  
  A photograph or image can transform someone's life. It's the way the artist makes the picture. Everyone has different emotions towards an item. Sometimes, the artist could be making their work have one meaning and it's relayed really well, so the person who sees it can understand what it is going on. If someone photographs a disaster then someone may see it and it can impact them to help others. It is the way a person views the piece.
