Nicole & Ryan

I have wanted to shoot inside the Met since I arrived in New York. Nicole and Ryan said yes to it, so we finally did it.

We photographed them the way you actually move through the building: walking, stopping in front of something, walking again.

We started in the Great Hall and worked through the painting galleries, then into the sculpture court where the light is soft and grey. The rooms change character every few steps, which meant a completely different frame every time we turned a corner.

We finished at the tall glass wall, with the park outside and the light coming right across the floor.
