In The Window, Berlin becomes more than a backdrop — it becomes an emotional landscape.
Created by Sahin Dellemann for the here&now series, the photograph captures an intimate portrait of two protagonists standing at an open window and looking out across the city.
The moment is quiet, unposed, and deeply human, making it a striking example of candid photography within the context of contemporary art.
At first glance, the image feels simple — two friends, a window, a morning in Berlin.But Dellemann’s signature approach transforms it into something more layered.
The architectural structure of the window merges with soft body language, creating a balance between vulnerability and strength. This blend of emotion and environment is central to Dellemann’s modern realism, a style that threads through all of his fine art photography.

As part of Berlin’s growing art scene, The Window sits between Berlin photography, modern art, and intimate portraiture. The natural light, the candid atmosphere, and the unfiltered chemistry between the two figures give the work a cinematic softness — while the strict geometry of the frame keeps it grounded in Berlin art and urban identity.
Collectors looking for fine art photography that reflects the spirit of contemporary Berlin will find The Window especially resonant. It speaks to themes of connection, change, and friendship during a moment in history when the city itself feels like it is in transition.
With its fusion of glamour, emotional honesty, and documentary presence, The Window stands as a compelling addition to the here&now series — a project that captures Berlin not as a place, but as a living experience.
