Guy Secretly Shoots Subway Passengers As 16th-Century Paintings

You can find all sorts of people on the London Underground. You won’t however see anybody from the 16th century. Not unless you’re Matt Crabtree that is. He sees them all the time.

Take a look at his pictures to see what we mean. The series is titled ’16th Century Tube Passengers’, and Matt takes the surreptitious photographs while travelling on the underground. “All these shots are taken, retouched and sent from my phone,” wrote Matt on Facebook. “Capturing the most of mundane commuter moments with a quiet, classical beauty.”

The title should be: Guy takes random portrait shots in subway and uses high vignette with paint effect filter.

Except they're not 'random'. They are 'carefully' chosen for their position and expression, which really do resemble paintings with portraits... not just 16th century, tho. Actually, they look more 15th century-ish to me tbh

I'm always struggling with the picture rights, when taking pictures of people. Wondering if he told those people afterwards...

I think these are brilliant, regardless of the technique used. Evoking the past underlines the enduring nature of humans throughout time, both beautiful and tragic.

Street photography normally isn't my thing, but this guy nailed it. I love the expression on the lady in the fifth shot. GREAT JOB on these. I am officially inspired to look at this genre in a whole new light.

It's creepy, not to mention rude, to secretly take photos of people. Do these people even know that their photos are in this post?

That last fellow needs help. Or a hug. Or a good laugh. Something.
