Victorian Theatre Balcony Dormer, Amsterdam Concert Venue

4 December 2017 · Amsterdam

Warm marquee bulbs ring a semicircular balcony dormer, pulling the eye upward through layers of ornate moulding toward gothic arched windows and a dark glass roof washed in green stage light. The radial geometry does the compositional work; the practical lighting supplies the warmth. Victorian theatre architecture photographed from directly below — a frame where the building becomes the subject as much as the event inside it.
