This photograph looks straight up into the glass dome of the Reichstag in Berlin, where steel ribs, curved geometry, and overlapping reflections form a dense visual rhythm. The structure repeats itself floor by floor, panel by panel, creating a pattern that feels both mechanical and alive. Through the Glass, silhouettes of people move through the interior ramps, reduced to fragments by reflections and perspective, turning everyday motion into something abstract and layered.
The image is defined by structure. Dark steel bands frame the scene, slicing the composition into horizontal segments, while angled glass panels bend and distort what lies beneath them. The symmetry isn’t perfect, and that’s what gives the photograph tension. Every level shifts slightly, forcing the eye to move rather than settle. At night, interior lighting sharpens contrasts, carving the scene into clean lines, hard edges, and controlled shadows that work exceptionally well in black-and-white.
Photographing the Reichstag dome requires patience and careful positioning. The space is constantly moving, filled with visitors walking the spiral ramps, pausing, crossing paths, disappearing. From below, those movements become graphic elements rather than individuals. Faces are obscured. Gestures are cropped. What remains is a study of architecture interacting with human presence, not as a subject, but as a texture within the frame.
Berlin itself adds context to the image. The Reichstag is a symbol of modern Germany layered over history, and the dome reflects that idea visually. Glass and steel sit above an old stone building, transparency resting on weight. That contrast is subtle but persistent, and it’s one of the reasons this scene holds attention longer than a purely architectural detail might.
This photograph was created on location in Berlin during an evening visit to the Reichstag, captured from lived experience inside the space itself. Each print is personally signed by me and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity confirming it as a real photographic work.
