I ran into so many drunk and homeless people, and I was amazed by how I felt just by looking at people's emotions on their faces. It was no where near as "alive" as London or Rio, and I felt like the city still suffered from the result of the second world war. Nevertheless, I tried to capture the historical side to this beautiful city.
The Reichstag, Berlin 2015
One of the main historical memorials in Berlin is the Holocaust memorial sculpture. The sculpture is made up of huge marble blocks that get bigger and bigger as you venture towards the middle of the installment. Each block is supposed to represent the grave of the Jews who died in WWII, the taller blocks in the center of the installment represent more of the Jews that passed than the smaller blocks towards the edge of the sculpture.
From a photography point of view, experimenting with light, shape and form with this installment was absolutely stunning. There was something about this dark memorial of such a terrible time that gave it a spooky, aroma.
An over look of this permanent installation for the Holocaust memorial. It appears that each marble block is of similar size, but when you venture into it, the ground is sinking so you go deeper and deeper underground and the blocks can reach up to approximately 10 feet tall.
This is a photo I took as a part of my university studies whereby we were required to shoot and create a magazine about anything that we wanted. I decided to headline this issue with "Losing touch with reality". The magazine followed my own ideas and other people's views on how technology was drawing us away from reality and we are living in an age where technology forms our identity.
During my visit to Berlin, I of course had to visit the famous Berlin Zoo. Unfortunately the weather was not on my side for this shoot, however, I hoped that my editing techniques would allow me to. (Photos to come)
