Photographer Spends Eternity Waiting For Museum Visitors To Match Artworks And The Result Is Worth The Wait
5.9Mviews
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.
It looks like she pulled the missing bits off to make her shirt! :-)
Interesting how "because my scarf match the colour of the sofa" make us think those are the same girl.

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.
Yes, I am wondering too. But never mind, either way I enjoyed to look through the pics
They would be better matches if he had. Leaning hard on the concept of Found art.
Hey not even is staged. But i can say the photos i choose to publish better look staged than shitty as many others do. Have a look on how i work (and i did this already with museumpeople and camerateams up to 4 persons behind me and no one would notice me. I could get 15 possible Matches in the 90 minutes with them) This is from today, so i hope you can guess how much is possible: https://peoplematchingartworksdiy.tumblr.com/
Hey bro, calm down. You know how people with no talent are. Jealous & disbelieving. I've gotten that my whole life. Love your work, BTW.
Still pretty fucking genius ... the coincidence is not in they were guided, but in what guided them to wear that on that particular day to that particular place ...
Even if this is the case it's still another art form. Delightful to scroll through these pictures.
Some are just too perfect to not be staged. Great work still.
I agree. I call BS on a few of these.....
I don't know about that but one day my nephew took his daughter to a park. Her clothes exactly matched the playground equipment. He didn't even realize it till I pointed it out. So funny!
Yeah, some of them seem too perfectly matched to be coincidental.

At least one person (the guy in the colorful plaid shirt) is in two different photos, so I'm sure most of these are staged. In any case, it's a good vehicle for putting art on the internet, so I'm all for it.
Does life imitate art or does art imitate life?
Life imitates art, a fucked up world trying to be the perfect picture.
Art is an imitation of series of moments. Hence this article.
This photographer is insanely patient. And no one else nearby? Bonus! Those are busy museums!!
Staged
who cares. the matches are very well done.
Not necessarily. Happened to my nephew.
