Nearly every photograph of the Louvre Pyramid is made in the open, out in the Cour Napoléon. I photographed it from inside instead, down the axis of the Passage Richelieu, so the pyramid arrives as a single lit shape at the end of a stone tunnel. The decision that made the image was time of day: blue hour, before sunrise and before the crowds, the one point where the lamps hold the stone warm while the pyramid reads cyan through the arch. An hour later daylight flattens both. The camera sits on the center line so the vaults, columns and arches stack concentrically into the frame.
Nico Trinkhaus is the mind-blind photographer, using cameras to create visions and memories that otherwise would be lost to him. Daria Trinkhaus is a writer, who loves to discover the hidden stories behind each and every place she visits.We both find bliss in slowing down and getting lost in cities around the globe. We learned to appreciate the mastery one can witness in grand architecture as well as tiny details. Sumfinity is a celebration of what mankind can accomplish through cooperation.
