HOW I GOT THE SHOT
PHOTOGRAPHER CHRISTIAN KERBER ON CAPTURING THE SPLENDOUR OF DRESDEN’S BAROQUE ARCHITECTURE FOR OUR APRIL ISSUE
Tell us about this image.
I walked along this street very often during my time in Dresden. It’s one of the main tourist routes, but on this particular morning it was empty save for me and one other person. It was perfect: no cars, no crowds and a great view of the Frauenkirche, an 18th-century church that, like so much of Dresden’s baroque architecture, was destroyed during the Second World War. It was later rebuilt, reopening to the public in 2005, a full 60 years after the Allied firebombing of Dresden in 1945.
