Floating Hipster
Hipster, Columbus Circle, NYC
I took this near the Metropolitan Opera, and I was influenced by the wonderful Chagall murals inside the Met. that are colorful, playful and distort perspective, with figures appearing to float in dream like perspectives. I was influenced specifically by this painting, "Over Vitebsk" held at the Art Gallery of Ontario:
The 16 mm pancake lens distorted perspective in this, enhanced by the high f-stop. I then deliberately muted some colours and enhanced only the turquoise of the sky and the photos being sold on Columbus square to catch the eye and further disorient the viewers visual perception. Kind of like what hipsters do with their eye catching colours and fashions.
