Taking Photos at the London Design Museum #1

Coincidentally Kubrik-esque in its symmetry, I took this on the way to Kensington where there is currently a Stanley Kubrik exhibition on display. Sadly, we didn't book tickets in time, but we will return!

Here is a taster of the exhibition from the lobby:

A Photo a Day #265

Lady with Bag

People milling around looking at art are good subjects for portraits. I'm not sure whether I'm 100% happy with the outcome of my editing, but I had to do something with the background as even with a wide aperture shot, the T shirt logo was detracting from the woman's skirt design.

As promised, another shot taken playing around with the concept of viewing people as art. 

It's really enjoyable to be creating these 'mini series' of photos within my A Photo a Day challenge. I'm finding that it's really helping me to establish specific areas of interest as a photographer. My project has been encouraging me to experiment and develop interesting concepts, often by happy accident. On days devoted to photography, I am tending to take around 100-200 snaps which then gives me plenty to work with. These two photos entitled In the Gallery turned out nicely I think.

Art galleries are ripe for portrait photography and I love to see people interact with art. This was my cowardly, yet ingenious way of capturing this concept. Another to come tomorrow.
