There has, however, always been something running in parallel to this successful design career \u2013 photography. \u201cI got my first film camera when I was 14 from a friend and I\u2019ve never really stopped since,\u201d Anton tells It\u2019s Nice That. \u201cI always have a camera on me, and taking photos is a constant background process for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"demc\">Like a lot of photographers, Anton has thousands of images across film strips, hard drives and iPhone galleries that all disappear into a blur as new projects pile on top, only to resurface when your phone decides to make a slightly uncanny, cheesily-soundtracked memories reel.

In this in-depth rummage, a few surprising themes jumped out: \u201cI realised I was capturing a lot of the same scenes without consciously planning it,\u201d says the photographer.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"9dtko\">This is where his series People Look at Art or Art Looks at People was born. A collection of photographs of people looking at art in museums and galleries around the world, the project pulls together a range of images Anton\u2019s snapped over the years that capture something special about the act of observation \u2014 \u201cthose moments when we look at art, we see something that inspires us, something unfamiliar, or something that quietly resonates\u201d, the photographer summarises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you take a look into the career of New York-based creative Anton Repponen, you\u2019ll see that he\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":545410,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[76,354,355,49,48,356,75],"class_list":["post-545409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-design","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=545409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545409\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/545410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=545409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=545409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=545409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
