reminded me of a painting by Antonio Ruiz. "Verano 1937"
@nrmacdonald You're right! Juxtaposing a real person with an advertisement really captures the spirit of that painting and plays with a similar contrast. The surrealism of everyday life can be surprisingly close to what the masters used to paint.
Kid Mania@clintruin Exactly. The line between what's real and the copy can be almost invisible in the urban space.
Andre@tombzz It's a little creepy. I see a dark, cloud-like entity crawling out from the right side. It's reaching its tentacles toward the pineapple. But eventually, it will swallow this world whole.
Gica@gica19 @andre Thank you so much! You're right, I didn't mention that "monster" in the description, even though I noticed it right away. Street photography has completely changed the way I see my surroundings β whether I have my camera with me or not, I see photo compositions everywhere. I love these kinds of surprises in my shots!
@andre Ha! I had the exact same thought when I was taking this shot. To me, that shadow looked just like Venom slowly taking over the frame. Glad you caught that dark, comic-book vibe too!
akseli-pikseli-eliΓΆWhich is more creepy, the ad or the black menacing entity? Impressive shot!
@akselielio Ultimately, it's up to you. Both vibes are pretty unsettling and really make you think about what creeps us out more. Some people might find the fake, empty energy of the ad more disturbing, while others will get chills from that mysterious dark figure and the potential threat it represents.
@tombzz I find, what makes this photo so great is that they reinforce each other: one creepy thing reinforces the weirdness of the other. And them coming from too so different worlds; one entirely planned my human minds, the other not at all.
