How is any of that I said pretentious? I am not trying to sell you a canvas painted blue. It is simply describing a frame of mind that will lead to great pictures.

If I cannot get through to you that is your loss.

There is a lot of abandoned photography out there. It is interesting to see, the destruction that is disuse. But then it is also interesting to see the type of photograph that is taken. A picture of an abandoned building is very different than from a building in use.

The hallways suddenly have interest and flair. You move carefully through the place as every new room might hold dangers. Your picture is peacefull, implying that he knows his surroundings.

Even if you think something is not animated/alive then you still approach with care if you don't know what it is.

Why this angle? You said you were doing a 3d base so there is plenty of room to explore different perspectives of the same scene. He is at the very tip, not service area at all - he must be a modern explorer.

Climbing a crane is a kin to climbing a mountain, a picture of such a situtation should show the exhilaration of being on top of "the world". Go and watch videos of crane climbers captured through a go -pro then redo your arrangement. This will be a weak picture otherwise, which is a shame because the idea is good.

I think contemporaries are fine, what the OP is after is just drawings with a lot of spirit in them.

I think it's more interesting to look at the dead guys' work and look how on who they've had an influence, this way you can reverse engineer your contemporary art heroes' inspiration.

Posting Charles Gibson, because he might as well be my messiah, my jesus of pen and ink
