interesant proiect (si potrivit societatii britanice :) ) - facut pentru conversia alb/negru ... interesanta si extrem de impresionanta si Tate Modern - proiectul asta (prin dimensiuni cel putin) pare sa fi fost special creat pentru Great Turbine hall

ps: lucrarea mea favorita din Tate Modern e Concert of Anarchy :) (cred ca e in colectia permanenta)

looks like an experiment. Great choice the B&W

ManuMay (11229) 2008-05-25 23:05

Hi Cristian!

I like your experiment, good election in B&W, it mades me remember "1984", people in B&W, this fog, a cold ambience. . . Where is Big Brother??

Hello Cristian,
A refreshingly unusual picture for TE. It's fascinating to watch the figures, some lying down, others sitting - alone or together - the old couple in the foreground just standing there watching the crowd. Yes, like others have mentioned, it's like something out of a silent movie.
Great work,
Gert

Impressive experiment, Cristian. The resulted mood is incredible. Another world, another dimension, a big dark box containing wander souls...

Hi Cristian, I have seen several shots of this project in the Tate Modern and I guess that this one, due to its gritty greys and mist comes very close to the intentions of it. Very graphic too. Lov' it.
Have a fine evening,
Bert

noborders (14201) 2008-05-29 14:30

I'd love to go there... Specially after having seen this photo !
The public looks as though they are part of an experiment... Very interesting !
Compliments,
Best regards,
Cath.

Hi Cristian
Impressive and dramatic image

gokanlam (6431) 2008-05-30 5:40

Hi Cristian, i like the atmosphere inside.. looks very dramatic but indeed impressive place with the people.. i like your B%W choice here.. My compliments,
ReLa

pboehringer (770) 2008-05-30 19:02

Cristian,
an image that has an atmosphere of doom, of mystery, of an unsolved problem. The B&W treatment gives and additional timeliness that underscores that feeling. Very good work!
Peter

P.S. So, what about the weekend 06/13-15?

Merline (6578) 2008-05-31 11:13

Hi Cristian,
I have seen many of this place, yours is very special. So dramatic, almost an alien look, like the world after a big catastrophy, interesting array of people in different attitudes and gloomy mood. Well done, I like this a lot and b/w great choice.

Kind regards
Michèle

bostankorkulugu (33876) 2008-05-31 11:24

looks like a shot taken around the WW2... so moody... so good... giving me shivers somehow... congratulation cristian...

all the best

MayaG (2393) 2008-05-31 13:10

This looks just great, Cristian. Actually, this is one of the best B&Ws Ive seen recently. the strange atmosphere is enchanting...looks like a frozen moment, I find myself wondering if the people are real or just statues.
The lovely couple standing in the bottom is a fantastic detail!
bravo
Marija

thub69 (401) 2008-06-01 12:21

Hi Cristian,
Je ne connaissais pas tes photos jusqu'à aujourd'hui...
Ravis de cette rencontre et bravo pour ton français !
beaucoup de belles photos. J'ai choisi de critiquer celle-ci pour son atmosphère particulière. Beaucoup d'interprétations sont possible... une personne allongée sur la droite, le couple de vieux au milieu, un couple jeune à droit, des enfants au fond... une vie ?
A bientôt
Hubert.

ninaL (19550) 2008-06-01 22:23

Hi, Cristian.
I like it a lot.
Something about it I am searching, too : composition with human body in the space with an interesting placement of the people...
Good atmposphere with very "heavy and cloudy" light in the interior.
Best regards. Grazyna.

zeca (20026) 2008-06-07 7:33

Hi Cristian!
Very nice photo, with amazing depressive atmosphére! Great work! It speaks!

Hello Cristian
I remember reading about this extraordinary project sometime in 2003. The audience plays a very important role in this exhibition appearing as silhouettes in the bleak artificial fog. The mood is so evocative, almost holocaustic (sorry for using this analogy) & perfect in B&W. Excellent!
Regards
Angshu

Stepan (27175) 2008-06-12 23:42

You have a very special eye (and a special touch) to find strange, dark and old-fashioned sci fi images... Simply impressive, simply striking... Excellent.
Stéphane

Hi Cristian,
unusual place and interesting photo experiment. Amazing mood in this image. Good work. I like it.
Gr., Aleksander

Hello Christian,
Splendid composition for sure...You send back the past for a moment...
I enjoy it very much!

doubay (5043) 2008-06-26 3:40

Fascinating shot! Looks like staged scene of some apocalyptic sci-fi movie. The b+w fits perfectly.
Greetings
Andreas

muratcaloglu (1281) 2008-06-28 6:00

Hello Cristian,
I just want to say that this shot teaches me a lot about photography, about composition, about seeing the whole scene. congratulations

Murat

nicoz (1963) 2008-06-29 6:01

Hi Cristian,
The turbine hall in the Tate Modern, a great place for photography indeed!
I like your shot, it somehow fits with the settings as he brings to my mind images of coal miners in the fog of the industrial midlands.
Funny to look at these people experiencing this project in their own ways.
Nicolas

kensimage (8543) 2008-07-05 21:19

The silhouette treatment is really effective, Cristian. The people look like ghosts, wandering, lost. That haze above (part of the exhibit, I presume) really helps, too. Looks like something out of a bleak-future science-fiction movie. Regards, Ken.

brevbrev14 (372) 2008-07-14 14:18

Hi CT, the atmosphere is very good here...
i like a lot the silhouettes of the people
great light
this is a very good work
bravo
ciao!
Valeria

LAPIAZ (1620) 2008-08-11 4:01

Hello Cristian !
The black and white add something...to the atmosphere.
Les personnages figés dans l'instant et perdus dans l'immensité de la salle sont du plus bel effet !!
Bravo !
Anna

scalerman (25783) 2008-09-09 12:23

Christian: a fine compositional eye is in evidence here - a great one. regards, c

horatiuTT (4566) 2008-09-13 12:37

Salut Cristian,
O poza care a cam rupt gura targului cum sar zice,in general
experimentele sunt bine venite in Fotografie ca asta ii farmecul
ei pana la urma,originalitatea.O atmosfera stralucitoare cum
s-a mai spus.Teribila ceata,dar de ce sa ne mire...este Londra.
Salutari,
Horatiu

anducina (8129) 2008-10-04 2:07

Interesanta atmosfera cetoasa si siluete. Imi place sentimentul degajat de aceasta poza si tratarea alb-negru.

rajhema (1867) 2008-10-20 3:22

Its like a setup in a museum Cristian. Very well captured. May be you changed the picture to B/w. but the silhouttes of the people looks like a museum display. Good one
I browsed all your pictures. they are simply fantastic.

Very interesting and very beautiful photo.
I love the caption.
I remember the movie "das experiment".

Glint (3052) 2009-02-01 2:53

hello Cristian,
this is good,. Its like a darker minded Lowry has photographesd this scene as prep work for a painting.Your choice of b&w was the right one. It creates a mood of almostfreboding and I feel i want to shout, someone turne on the light! someone turn on the colour!
Bev

nbj (1871) 2009-02-07 3:57

saw this one several times in your galley, but it speaks to me more now than before, for some reason. i love the light, the room, the dark spaces in the foreground, and the composition in general. great atmosphere.

paprika-jancsi (1959) 2009-03-02 7:15

fantastic, dreamlike surreal shot shows a great deal of talent and imagination. My instant favorite. T>Y> jancsi

CycleEyes (598) 2009-03-03 3:21

Hello Cristian, it´s seem one diorama with melancolic atmosphere. Great image, simple and expressive elements.
Regards
George

clio (22943) 2009-03-10 15:33

Really fantastic Cristian!
Which atmosphere! we really have the impression to be in a science fiction's film .
It is very interesting the way with which you photograph the Tate Modern, it seems to be a building built in the 1930s.
Very upsetting shot, congratulations
Diane

Vasa (6114) 2009-06-11 15:17

Dear friend Cristian,

I missed this so interesting composition. Atmosphere is great even in one color. Your position is optimal. Mine too.

All felicitations,

Branko

Uhu (7424) 2009-11-04 1:56

There are something quite alarming in this scenery - and very interesting project it is, it seems. Great photo, quite original, and unusual for TE also!
