This portrait-format picture shows the fish auction hall in Hamburg-Altona in all its splendour, taken from the jetty to the ferry terminal. The symmetry of the composition draws the eye directly into the depths of the picture, where the old hall towers majestically. The foreground is also razor-sharp, with small graffiti decorating the steel structure and adding depth. The actual hall is also depicted in captivating detail, so that even the clock face with its fine details can be perfectly recognised.
The sky stretches upwards in a subtle blue colour, interspersed with fine, feathery clouds that lend lightness and an airy expanse to the picture. The deserted scene reinforces the calm, almost timeless atmosphere, which is further intensified by the soft light and the brilliant details. The picture conveys an impressive blend of urban history and maritime elegance that makes for a special eye-catcher in any room. Ideal for lovers of Hamburg and high-quality photographic art.
Due to its high image resolution and the resulting achievable print quality, this picture is ideal for large-format prints!
