8 1/2.

Those 10 photographs i could catch within 92 minutes.

Those 4 photographs i could catch within 50 minutes. I then left the museum.

Let’s finally check: from the idea and first photograph taken till the last one 9 minutes have passed. Yes, it can take that long.

Photos were all taken by Stefan Draschan, 19.10.2017 in the Musée de l’Orangerie, Paris

I chose this as my favourite.

When the person, and really try not to disturb anyone, has reached the goal, take many shots. People move, you are shaky, people around you, maybe a museum guard watching what you are doing. Back home, you can have a relaxed view of what is best.

I don’t have to explain this, do i?

Hope that the group will disappear. They will but hopefully the Peoplematchingartwork candidate won’t be scared off. Also have a look on Peoplematchingartwork candidate No.2, the girl with the red hat.The jacket would match but i think the red hat is too strong for the Gauguin. /The red Renoir in the back is for beginners the easiest match. I have a series “Couples matching” as well so the similar outfits per se are interesting for me.

Take some testshots. Training is essential and makes you better and better.

Then try to figure out when the person and the artwork will possibly connect. There is percentage of people over 40 years will continue the way in the gallery, but i won’t tell you how much it is, that remains my secret. Usually people with an audioguide take longer to go there, but therefore will also stay longer in front of the painting. Those paintings are all by Renoir.

Then it is essential to spot someone who could possible match in a beautiful way.

First of all, find a painting/artwork that you love and of which you think a great composition can happen. Jump, go on your knees, find out how it looks from different angles. Always try to see with your ears as well as hear with your eyes. I spotted a Gauguin, next to the Monets. It’s my second time in the Musée de l’Orangerie, after 1 hour the week before,
