This photograph shows one side of the main concert hall in Luxembourg City, called the Philharmonie. I awaited the morning sunlight to illuminate the structure, revealing a dynamic interplay of highlights, shadows, and intricate details across its geometric facade and its columns.
As I composed the shot, a solitary man walked through the scene, his silhouette adding a human element to the otherwise stark environment, captured spontaneously at that moment.
I chose to edit in black and white to enhance the contrast and emphasize the architectural form.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
Making photographs for 35 years now as an amateur, started with my own black & white dark room, switched to colour slides and learned to see and frame the shot before pushing the shutter as back then it wasn't a cheap endeavour. Your shot was either ok (sometimes great) or just for the trash bin. Now I'm happily post-processing my digital pictures. Mostly interested in capturing the less standard sometimes unexpected or awkward moments, to evoke emotions. My first rule: wherever you go always have a camera with you!
