Saturday was a pretty heavy day as we visited the Dachau Concentration Camp near Munich. I’ve been there before in 2006 when I was in high school, but my parents wanted to visit the site for themselves this time around. I decided black and white were right for these photos because the subject material is very serious, and the camp itself is very monotone in color. I’m the type of person who only uses black and white to help convey respect for the subject and to give a tone of seriousness to the story. I’ve got several shots of shadows or silhouettes of people, which I intentionally did in order to try to match the ghostly vibe I felt walking through the infamous site.
