Photographer Spends Eternity Waiting For Museum Visitors To Match Artworks And The Result Is Worth The Wait
Most of us were bored at some museum at least once in our lives - except this guy! France-based photographer Stefan Draschan always keeps himself entertained at famous art galleries with his creative photography ideas.
One of those projects is “People matching famous paintings”. Although at first Draschan’s cool pictures seem perfectly staged, the secret behind them is patience. The photographer enjoys visiting different museums mostly in Paris, Vienna, and Berlin where he waits for visitors to suddenly match with a piece of classical art in a funny way. The result of his bright idea is these humorous and unique pictures of unexpected harmony between people and the classical paintings they’re facing. It’s usually the outfits that match the art, but there are also people who match with the paintings because of their hairstyles and colors, or even beards.
Scroll down to see this ongoing project for yourself and beware – Stefan Draschan might be somewhere out there “hunting” for you!ng” for you!

Looks like she escaped from the painting and is trying to decide whether or not to go back.

Interesting how "because my scarf match the colour of the sofa" make us think those are the same girl.

maybe it's just the perspective of the camera shot - but does anyone else think these people are WAY too close to the paintings they're looking at?

There is no repeated pattern between the clothes and the painting... Yet they just looks like a set.

When I see this painting all I can think of is Love Shack by the B-52s.

Lo'vyn, it's not just the painting that the artist is "matching"; it's the whole person and contact within which the painting sits. Your criticism throughout this article appears to come from a basis of - not very much at all. Like someone else said, why not google and get back to us?

He serves to lead the eyes into the painting... Yes... He's part of the art.

Before anyone says anything, he's probably checking the app that the art gallery has to learn more.

The photographer just used his baldness to create the lightest spot for focus. 😂

I'm wondering if they're actually staged, at least some of them. Like he sees someone come into the room he's waiting in, and so he asks them to stand in front while he takes the photo. Potentially he waits at the entrance of the gallery and then guides people to the appropriate painting - even better hit rate then.

I'm wondering the same thing. Like maybe it started as a coincidence, but then he started staging.
