Berlin Hauptbahnhof is an astounding sight, as well as a perfect location for portrait photography. The afternoon sun is shining through the characteristic windows, lighting up hundreds of faces. Some of the faces belong to busy Berliners, who have no time to stop and notice the sunshine. Other faces are purposefully directed toward the sun, taking in every single ray. Another face belongs to a photographer who wears a concentrated frown while trying to get the perfect lighting.
