Medieval Mood

On yet another trip to the ROM, I stumbled across the museum's collection of armour. I felt the modular shapes of the metallic plates would make for a great vantage point for a collection of structured clothing. Some leading designers such as Alexander McQueen and Gareth Pugh have made very successful collections based of medieval armour. Very inspirational.

I used a small aperture to let in less light in order to achieve a dark, dramatic mood. It lends itself well to the subject matter in my opinion. It also helped to minimize the glare from the glass, which is a constant struggle when shooting at the ROM.
