Leeds Art Gallery - Backdrops

I was walking around the gallery looking for one of those nice big white spaces, an image I already had in my head at the time. Some of the rooms in the gallery were painted red or blue, not something that I found appealing and I much prefer the white backdrops as it doesnt detract your attention away from the image.




Just want to talk a little about the image above. I really found this wall appealing in terms of it's layout. I want my main image to be the focus but I still want it work with the gallery style by including other pictures. The layout of having the main image in a large frame and too smaller ones appears to work really well. If I applied this to my design work I should be able to get a clearer hierarchy in focus points.
