Crowds are more than amorphous blobs of noise. Made You Look encourages deep exploration of crowds through photographic interventions. It seeks to isolate what otherwise gets lost in the noise, uncovering and magnifying the humanity within a crowd. The images were made monochrome to eliminate the distraction of color. The background was removed to focus on people, and they were printed large to resolve every face. One is ambiguously color-coded to encourage pattern-finding. Mounted prints hang above a custom-made display table, which exposes part of the full-scale prints. Viewers can scroll through to see the entire image.

Christopher Kitchen is a photographer from Boston, based in NYC. His work experiments with unique photographic processes to recontextualize and examine day-to-day observations. He hopes viewers can share his curiosity.
