The photography website Feature Shoot is bringing the museum outside and giving photographers a chance to have their work posted on billboards in New York City as part of its Global Billboard Project, replacing commercial advertising with art.
If you take a drive down the Gene Autry Trail in California sometime before April 30th, you'll run into an unusual set of billboards. Rather than ads, you're greeted by a landscape photograph that, for a fleeting moment as you drive by, will blend perfectly into the mountains in the distance.
Canon's latest billboard ad campaign in New York City does more than promote the camera brand: they can actually help you shoot better photos. Each of the fixed and mobile truck billboards is updated in real time with useful photo tips you can use on the spot.
When Israeli photographer Natan Dvir visited New York City in 2008, he was taken aback by the massive advertising billboards dominating commercial hubs and the fact that giant models on them loomed over the pedestrians walking by. Dvir began documenting these billboards and the juxtaposition of huge fake humans and tiny real humans through his project titled "Coming Soon."
