DOCUMENTA: lady in black Photo

Photographer’s Note

Snapshot / candid photo.
The Documenta (16.06.-23.09.2007) is the exhibition for contemporary art, most meaning world wide. It takes place only every 5 years.

My photos are snapshots with e x i s t i n g light and very subjective observations of people a n d art. They are not always technically perfect, but authentic.

The pictures at the wall are work of the artist Zoe Leonhard. But which would be the pictures without the elegant lady in black?

Hello Wolfgang,
Interesting shot of this mysterious lady viewing these pictures. She does indeed look very elegant and is nicely posed; staning out well from the background.

Perfect timing to capture right between the two sets of pictures! And I do like the air of mystery here

Hey Wolfgang.
This photo has a weird graphic quality to me. The dark shape of the woman, the red swath of carpet, the white wall and symmetrical photos...just real stark. I find this very attractive. Lighting is excellent and the slant of the carpet adds just enough contrast against the balance to really make something of this shot.
Well done,
Chris.

Hello Wolfgang,

You took this picture on a very nice moment, the lady in black between the paintings, the gray wall care for soft colours and a fine feeling, very well done.
Thanks for sharing.

Best regards,
John.

Hi Wolfgang,

I like how the colour is with the snapshots and not with the lady looking. Makes you wonder about who is the subject here. Nice one!

Greetings, Dennis

Hi Wolf,
The composition has a very balanced feeling with the walker poised between the two banks of photos. Ther contrast between her black attire and the white wall is also attractive. The way you've caught her midstep adds action. HLJ, Pat

Wolfgang, good evening.
There is something good about taking pictures in an art gallery or photo exhibition, you often get good and interesting light. You have caught the lady in just the right position with just a touch of movement. nice contrast between the lady in black and the colour of the pictures. Sadly in the UK many galleries do not allow photos to be taken, that's not to say you don't take them, you just risk getting caught.
