Exercise 21: Making Figures Anonymous

In this first image I have included two figures who are key to the image but remain anonymous. The figure inside the ballon is so small that he is unrecognisable and the figure in the foreground is facing away from us.









Here the person in the picture is slightly obscured by the balloon rigging.













The three figures here are all anonymous, the two in the distance are very small and the nearer one has his back to us.

















These people are all walking away from from me up the Calvary Steps on Pellenca, Mallorca. I waited to take the photograph until no one was facing me.
















Here in St Pancras Eurostar terminal the figures are all unrecognisable through movement blur or are facing away from the camera.













In this picture taken inside a gallery in Tate Britain the figures are very small and therefore unrecognisable.

















In the Turbine Hall of Tate Modern these figures are all very small. I am pleased with this images as I really like the shafts of light shining through the far window and it gives a very good impression of large space - ideal for huge installations.















Another shot of the Turbine Hall taken with a slow shutter speed in order to blur the figures.
















In all of the images I have included the building or space is the principal subject but I feel that the people in the photographs enhance the picture by giving scale and demonstrating that the space is in use. In order to keep the space the main focus of the picture the people are all anonymous.
