"Concentration Camps" was a series by Michael Kenna shot over 11 years and completed in the year 2000. He was able to achieve shots of beauty, in contradiction to the horrible reality of the subject matter. I find these three select 3 shots use depth of field to effectively convey the great scale of these "camps". Depth of field is a technique i have been trying to integrate into my own shoot, to like Kenna effectively show a scale of what i am shooting.
