I wish I had this kind of eye...

I thought that too, but even if it was staged, still tells an amazing story. The article says the photographer visited different museums to get his shots, and he might have staged them, but that doesn't matter to me as I see what story he is telling.

Hmmm . . . . It wouldn't have been technically difficult to photograph the art and then overlay those photos with shots of patrons.

Even if staged, it was a lot of imaganation, seeking persons and items of clothing.... Outstanding effort well done

Days??? The much coincidence would most likely take months, a lot of months. However, it's a really interesting series.

My first thought was that a lot of them have been staged, but so what! the original concept is genius. I want to think that it all started with a once in a life time coincidence when someone resembling the painting stepped in front of it. To follow through with such a great collection of images shows dedication and a very creative mind.

Going thru them I was 100% certain they were staged...too many coincidental color matches, clothing, poses, etc, rendering the probability akin to the monkeys typing Hamlet. That being said, the staging is brilliant and incredibly well done.
Personally, my most significant observation is that one of the “models” has an uncanny resemblance to my wife. Maybe she can answer the question for us?

It is not only the eye, but the Time also.
Decades ago, I have spent weekends in the Art Institute of Chicago. I marveled at the combinations of viewers and artwork that presented themselves to me. I have taken several shots, but found difficult to work with the light variance with the film cameras I had.
I am glad that someone worked this idea out. The link is worth the time to check out.

OMG, this has to be one of the most interesting set of images I've ever seen. I'm not sure why so many apparently believe it's faked. Visit any good art museum and it will be busy with interesting characters.

I thought it was interesting, too. There are more if you just google the artist's name, Stefan Draschan. And I also thought that even if they are staged, this guy has a very creative mind - just putting the people and artwork together would have taken a lot of effort (i.e., did he get those women to dye their hair blue/green/orange??). And if it's not staged, he must have spent a lot of time at the museum!!
(The photographer does say it is not staged in the article above the photos.)
