Artist Precedent: Edward Hopper.

Edward Hopper has some very interesting compositional aspects which I would be interested in exploring within my photography. 

The pillar on the left hand side frames the scene, suggesting the viewer is standing in a different space and observing in on a different one. There is a scene of 'watching and observing' without really being part of the action. 

Again, the concept of being present in  one area and capturing a glimpse of something beyond, inspiring curiosity. This scene allows for a peek at two spaces beyond. 

Looking in on something unfolding within in space however there is a definite sense of being absent from it; should we really be witnessing this? 

Again, objects framing in the foreground highlighting the space the observer is 'standing' in is not all being displayed, and tantilizing hints and what's beyond in the background through the windows.
