This art project created by art director Brad Warsh places emojis in real life situations to create life-mimicking and often humorous images.
Using only his iPhone, Brad discovered his talent for nonchalantly placing emojis in real life scenarios. The images range from realistic views of an emoji beer placed on a real picnic table, to hilarious unrealistic images of a camel roaming through a deserted concourse.
Brad began using an app that would insert emojis into image frames -- before Snapchat. The results are quite fascinating because emojis have become a socially acceptable way to communicate; Brad's photography project confirms this, while poking fun at the cartoon image-based language. This project presents not only a renewed view of the surrounding world, but it forces viewers to consider how the image would look without the emoji.
