Auschwitz Camp Photo

Photographer’s Note

All you need to know about this place is on this site. I don't want to add any "touching" personal comments as (almost) everything was already written. I visited this incredible place few days ago. Although I had my camera with me I had been decided not to take many shots - if any - long before I reached the camp.

It was quite cold spring day, the sky was very dark and cloudy and the barracks looked really ominous. This shot shows a moment that impressed me very much.

the framing and low angle gives this sense of oppression;-) great shot! thanks for sharing and let's hope this will never be allowed to happen again.. Even though everyday history proves me wrong;-(

You have captured this place perfectly. Dark and cold, exactly how it was. Well done.

you're right. this one touches many delicate points. the shot is good, and as expected, gave me shivers.

This catches just the right tone, (which I missed on the sunny day I visited, and shot in colour). B&W good choice, Eric makes a good point.

Very strong shot. Of course, B&W is a good choice. Great angle, great contrast.

Very good compo from this place Jan. The low shooting position is good and the perspective works well. The fences is adding a scary (as it should) atmosphere in there. Very good
