This photograph was taken at the German Historical Museum during a two-day trip to Berlin, aimed at capturing images for my architecture portfolio. Although this location wasn't originally on my list, I was drawn in by the light streaming through the building as I walked by. After entering, I took a similar shot of the stairs but felt something was missing. To add a sense of life, I asked my girlfriend to walk up the steps, which brought the composition to life. The trip was a success, yielding some of my best work, and this photo stands out as one of my favorites. It was shot handheld at f/6.3, 1/320 sec, and ISO 100.
