Altonaer Str. 7 Transparent Staircase

The image was taken in the district of Hansaviertel, looking east onto the transparent staircase of the residential building at Altonaer Str. 7, which protrudes from the building. By subway: - Closest station: U Hansaplatz (via U9 line) - Head southeast on Altonaer Str. and the destination will be on your right Address: Altonaer Str. 7 10557 Berlin, Germany

You can visit the transparent staircase at Altonaer Str. 7 during any month of the year. I prefer the cold, wet months to give your photo a more dreary vibe.

Visit during the day to get the natural light coming in through the windows of the staircase.

Since this is a residential building, please be considerate of those who live there. I recommend getting there in the morning so you're less bothersome.

Have your model stand near the bottom center of the staircase. This will create a focal point that draws the eye to the middle of the photo.

In post-processing, try cropping your photo so that only the staircase is in your frame. Cropping out additional background will simplify your photo and keep the focus on the architecture of the stairwell.

Various restaurants and shops are in the area. Spend time walking around and see what you can find!

If you'd like to photograph some nature shots, make sure to check out the Spree River and the Englischer Garten.
