529 : 530 is a cinematic work of fine art photography that captures a moment suspended between anonymity and identity.

Shot in a quiet hotel corridor, the photograph uses minimalist composition and stark noir lighting to create an atmosphere of tension, introspection, and held breath.

The subject stands between two doors — 529 and 530 — turning the hallway into a symbolic threshold, a place where choices, personas, and inner narratives coexist. The glossy trench coat, the rigid posture, and the subtle upward gaze add a psychological dimension: a portrait of someone waiting, wondering, or quietly resisting.

The dramatic shadows emphasize isolation, while the clean architectural lines intensify the feeling of being watched or trapped, evoking classic film-noir aesthetics.

This photograph belongs to the ongoing here&now series — a visual exploration of Berlin’s emotional realism. The project captures fleeting, unguarded moments that reflect the mood of a city constantly negotiating between freedom, hedonism, vulnerability, and inner truth.

Printed on Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta, the work achieves deep blacks, sharp detail, and a tactile richness that reinforces its cinematic mood.
