You Are Not Bansky is the new creative output from Los Angeles-based photographer Nick Stern. You Are Not Banksy is pretty much what it sounds like — a real-life series of human beings posing as famous Banksy stencils, eight photographs in all. Although this is quite the clever project, Stern is better known for his News photography as he founded the First News Ltd. agency in the year 2000, traveling the world reporting on many investigative vile subjects like human trafficking and child prostitution. The 8.5″ x 11″  prints are available for $45 each at Stern’s online store.
