"Babcia" portraits

Today, Sz and I decided to use his (finally) cleaned out basement as a studio with his grandma as a test model. My indoor lighting experience is a little foggy as I don't remember much of it from film school (13 years ago), but I think we came up with a decent setup using our basic lighting equipment. :)

My visit to the site of the Auschwitz concentration camp

Entrance to Auscwitz I with the infamous words "Abeit Mach Frei" - Work will set you free

Personal belongings of victims recovered after the Soviet Red Army stormed the camp 






The wall of death, where a lot of inmates were shot individually, usually to the back of their heads

The famous "showers" that were actually gas chambers fixed with fake shower heads


"Güterwagen" (goods wagon), one of the types used for deportation to the camp

Ruins of Crematorium IV, blown up in the revolt


The main entrance to extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau
