Back in 2008 I had the pleasure of visiting the Gothic Malbork castle, which is one of my favourite places from my childhood. It’s located very close to Gdansk where I was born, just over an hour by train going south. Although I’ve been there on 4 separate occasions, I’ve never visited it during a weekday when it’s pretty much devoid of tourists. So when I got there  it was pretty much empty, with a ton of room to shoot photos and explore all the rooms and corridors without obstructions. My favourite moment was when I walked the narrow corridors around the building with the watchtower. It was super quiet, very breezy and beautifully creepy. Can’t wait to go back!

The castle complex itself is actually made up of three separate castles (High, Middle and Lower Castles) which are nested in one another and are separated by dry moats and bridges. It is also the largest castle in the world and the largest brick building in Europe.

I highly recommend visiting it if you are in the area 🙂

Here are some of my music photos from 2008 – 2010. I personally love shooting music related gigs. Being a musician myself, it really helps understand the vibe and allows me to really connect with the artists. What’s also wonderful is going behind the scenes and really experiencing the different personalities that make up the performing act. Definitely looking forward to working with more musical artists in the future.

    Fantastic coverage and totally rad b&w’s. Loved the vibe and feel of the band shots at the venue.ReplyCancel

      Thanks Paul! Yea, it’s always great to shoot a band that has good stage presence. Location helps too. Most venues rely only on back lighting, which obviously makes it pretty difficult for photography. It’s a good thing these new generation of cameras have high ISO capabilities, although all of these were shot on my old 30D. Rock n’ Roll baby!!!! Rock n’ Roll!!! 🙂ReplyCancel
