Photos of Tiny, Lone Figures Dwarfed by Large Buildings
Insignificant Moments is a photo series by Australian photographer Thomas Ryan that juxtaposes tiny, lone human figures against the architecture of large structures.
Ryan shoots architectural photography, so he often finds himself on city streets, focusing his lens on different built environments. It’s his time out in the city that had him thinking about his interactions with the people around him.
“Insignificant Moments provides me with the opportunity to capture the fragility of human presence in amongst the built environment,” Ryan says. “Being surrounded by people within the built environment, it struck me that I could go days without talking to another human being.”
“These feelings are emphasized in this project through the lone figures overshadowed by the built environment.”
