One of my favorite contemporary images is a photograph by Jeff Wall titled, After “Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison, the Prologue, 1999-2000.
An image can be seen here.
I like the idea of the figure being seen from an angle that suggests someone at a distance looking and who hasn't come to the subject's attention. I also like how Wall's subject is almost lost in this claustrophobic environment of light bulbs hanging from the ceiling and other items surrounding him.
Mine isn't nearly as interesting visually, but it's close to the feeling I wanted.
