Coincidences at the Museum: Visitors Who Accidentally Match the Paintings They’re Looking At

These Scenes are Not Staged

It’s only natural to think that Stefan Draschan’s cool pictures are staged, he assures people that they indeed are not. He claims that the only secret behind the awesome results is his patience. And by patience, I think he means something way beyond our laymen’s understanding of the word. You say patience, and I think of waiting patiently in a McDonald’s lineup to buy a Big Mac.

Photo by Stefan Draschan

When this photographer says patience, he’s referring to hours upon hours of sitting in museums and keeping a real keen eye on what he is witnessing in front of him. Not only does the visitor have to appear somewhat similar to the painting that he or she is standing in front of, but Draschan also has to manage to get behind them and click the photo at the right time.
