He is a photographer that has his personal website, https://stefandraschan.com/. He did some photograph works that regarding the visitor behaviour inside the museum. For example, he has a photo series called “People sleeping in museums”. He captured the scene where people caught sleeping inside the museums with different nationalities and locations. He also has two series, one called “People touching artworks” and other one called “People matching artworks”. He took the photo in a passive way that only did photo shoots from the back of the people, which is similar to my idea, that capturing the specific moment of people reviewing artworks in the museum. Also, his idea is more documenting instead of presenting artistic or abstract meaning, so as I.

Thomas Struth

He is a German photographer who always makes works of human portraits and also city landscapes. He has two photo series called “Museum Photography 1/2” which he showcased the photos that he has taken inside a museum with historical paintings as a background and visitors as the content. He did everything spontaneously, when he finds a good composition of figures, he takes the photo, which is what exactly I am doing when visiting the museums for the project.
