Artist often ask if they need to include a reference to show scale. As Natasha and I walked in the gallery, a group of students were in the gallery. I asked Natasha to stand still and asked the students to mingle around quickly. I took about 10 photos with a 1/4 second shutter speed and then created a GIF file. This shows how tall the piece is and the students provide a certain amount of the depth of the piece. Plus it is a bit lighthearted. Thanks to the students.
