The Man in Black
And now for something completely different...
After visiting the Natural History Museum I ventured down to the Design Museum as I'd never been there before.
I had a wander around the building and it's fantastic for architecture photography, but as I was looking at another shot this man caught my eye as he walked up the stairs and I thought he'd make a good subject for a photo.
I don't do much black and white photography but as soon as I took this I knew it had to be black and white to give it the mood I was after. I think it has quite a sci-fi feel to it, it reminds me of something from Logan's Run or one of those other old 70s sci-fi films.
The display at the top level is a permanent installation that changes words from Designer, Maker, User and I think it adds an added interest to the shot.
The Design Museum covers product, industrial, graphic, fashion and architectural design, and it well worth a visit. In 2011, Sir Terence Conran donated £17.5 million to enable the museum to move from its old warehouse location in Shad Thames to a larger site in Kensington which formerly housed the Commonwealth Institute. The new site officially opened in 2016.
Anyway, I hope you like it.
