What does a photographer do when he first moves to a new city? Well, if you’re Skander Khlif you head to your local museums and take photos of those engrossed in art. In his new series called The Silence of Munich, he shoots photos of people surrounding by sweeping architecture or in front of beautiful masterpieces. I love how he mostly has one or just two people in his shots. It goes to show that less is more when it comes to street photography such as this.
Here’s what Khlif stated about this body of work. “I just moved to Munich. And on the first Sunday I had to present my self to my new city and in the same time get to know ‘Her’ better! The heart of every city is the museum area and there I went! Alte Pinakothek and Pinakothek der Moderne! What a beautiful silent Sunday!”
How I’d love to try and do this at the recently opened Los Angeles museum, The Broad.
