This is one of my favourite photos from a trip to Berlin earlier this year. These simple blocks of varying sizes make a striking memorial to this tragic period in European history. And they make a great photographic subject too.
I have kept my edits to a minimum – just the usual straightening and sharpening, and a little adjustment to exposure. I’m looking forward to working with this image – what can I achieve whilst respecting the simplicity of this image?

Love the simplicity of this edit. It doesn’t even look like a photograph; it’s more like a work of art.
