Thomson 218

I decided to venture into the AGO with fear of not being able to bring due to copy right infringement. Upon attempting to sneak my camera in, I was successful at capturing this picture of my friend Taylor. I admired Thomas Struth’s work of emptiness with buildings and crowdedness inside the museums. I was inspired to combine both concepts into one photograph. By doing so, I wanted only one person in the in the center of all the art.

  1. This image is framed really nicely! Although, it does need to be straightened, and I think the vignette should be removed (takes away from the photo, makes it appear darker and denser instead of light and airy and empty like what you were going for). Also, if you'd like, try playing around with Luminance and Saturation bars in Photoshop Raw (or Lightroom) to see if you come up with some more dynamic colours :)

  2. Great concept, I agree with Erin about the vignetting taking away from the photo. I'm also not sure if its my monitor or it looks like this in the blog but when you zoom in the image looks out of focused. Overall great idea. Nice job.
