It was Buzzfeed who brought Phil Jones to the world's attention. On his own web site, Jones simply wrote, "I have a deep respect for anyone who is willing to put their face on a bus stop bench knowing what people do to them. I thought it would be fun to do my own take on our local realtor advertisements."

He's not claiming it's art, but in some ways it is. When the results rise above fun it's because of a combination of his totally strenuous commitment to meticulously congruent composition, as in the photo above, and the total wrongness of the pairing despite that. It's also that he seems so damned friendly. Realtor photos are unilaterally soul-killingly horrible, and why the hell is that? Is there a worse genre of portrait photography than the realtor ad? Then there's the gender studies aspect... Have at them.
