Similar to Pop Art, photorealism challenged previous hierarchies deeming what should or should not be a worthy subject to depict. Incorporating and appropriating commercial content and simple scenes of everyday life as the focus its’ work. The use and reliance on mechanical and industrial techniques in creating artwork also mirrored those of preceding pop artists as well as creating an impersonal yet hugely aesthetic effect. Photorealists often project their chosen image onto the canvas rather than drawing it out by hand and use airbrush techniques to mimic the glossy look of a photograph.
