Guy Secretly Shoots Subway Passengers As 16th-Century Paintings
124Kviews
You can find all sorts of people on the London Underground. You won’t however see anybody from the 16th century. Not unless you’re Matt Crabtree that is. He sees them all the time.
Take a look at his pictures to see what we mean. The series is titled ’16th Century Tube Passengers’, and Matt takes the surreptitious photographs while travelling on the underground. “All these shots are taken, retouched and sent from my phone,” wrote Matt on Facebook. “Capturing the most of mundane commuter moments with a quiet, classical beauty.”

The title should be: Guy takes random portrait shots in subway and uses high vignette with paint effect filter.
Except they're not 'random'. They are 'carefully' chosen for their position and expression, which really do resemble paintings with portraits... not just 16th century, tho. Actually, they look more 15th century-ish to me tbh
I don't know about your skills as a photographer or artist, but I certainly would not be able to take 'random' portrait shots in a subway and use high vignette with paint effect filter and get these beautiful results. It'll be nice to see your work : )
I'm always struggling with the picture rights, when taking pictures of people. Wondering if he told those people afterwards...
Yep. I was wondering the very same thing
I've thought of that too, but isn't street photography that way? Because public place is full of people, and everyone's presence is not really exclusive... But if the photo kind of features a person, maybe that person has the right to say no or be credited as random model?
My immediate thought when they mention taking pictures of strangers without their knowledge or consent. Pisses me right off when they invoke 'art' as an excuse.
In the second picture, She is so beautiful!!!!!!! 8534c24021...907348.jpg
