Wintergarten Theater Women's Restroom Stalls

This image was taken in the underground, a 12-stall women's restroom of the Wintergarten Theater. To get here, first enter the lobby of the theater and then follow the marble staircase down until you arrive in the room with plush red seating. Walk through the women's corridor and you'll see this view of the arched hallway. If you have trouble finding the location or you'd like to make sure that no one is occupying the restroom, just ask the staff and they can help you. Men and women can access this space. By subway: - U-Bhf Kurfürstenstraße (via U1 or U3 lines) - Head northeast on Potsdamer Straße/B1 toward Pohlstraße and the destination will be on your left

All months of the year are suitable to photograph the underground restrooms of the Wintergarten Theater.

To find the restroom with fewer guests, visit during midday before a show. Otherwise, you can visit during opening hours.

This restroom is public, but it's still considered a private location. Please ask the staff before you take any photos and make sure that there aren't people (other than your model) in your shot. I suggest tipping the bathroom attendant, too.

Enhance the height of the arches by having your model get low. As the model is crouched down, the arches will appear taller. You can get low also, as the photographer.

Placing your model in the center of your shot will create a sense of symmetry, contrasting with the asymmetrical pattern of the arches.

Check online before visiting and see what shows are playing that week. The plays here are legendary and I highly recommend seeing one!
