Welcome to "Phonies".
A new photo craze which is a take on the traditional selfie.
They portray famous faces on the shoulders of members of the public.
Social media photographer Dan Rubin coined the phrase.
And has a number of the images on his tumblr page.
Each picture shows a member of the public holding up a phone to make themselves look like a famous person.
And is a tribute to celebrities' love of taking their own selfies.
Dan says of the Phonies: "Selfies have become ingrained in popular culture so I started thinking about images that could take the humble selfie to a different level."

He added: "I liked the idea of using a few celebrities known for shooting selfies and merging them with street photography-style portrait shots."
The photographer took a while to find the perfect person to portray each celebrity.

He explains: "It was a challenge finding subjects that matched the faces and it took rather a long time but I’m happy with the results."
And he's very happy with the results.

"The reaction has been great – I love the humour of the shots, it’s candid and a bit tongue and cheek, and gently pokes fun at the selfie-obsessed celebs that we all love to follow."
