Overview

This was my final project for a photography class. The subject is not a real place: I built the subway scene in Unreal Engine on my own computer, then photographed it the way I would photograph a real one.

Each frame is a photograph of my 4K monitor, taken with a Canon 5D Mark IV and a 50 mm lens with a polarising filter on it. Afterwards I edited the photographs to take the digital edge off the image.

The result is ten black-and-white photographs: the outside of the car, its doors and windows, and the empty interior.
