Linnahall, a huge concrete concert hall located on the Old Town’s harbour in Tallinn, Estonia, opened in 1980 for the sailing events of the Moscow Summer Olympics. The last concert took place in 2009, and the 4,800 seats have remained empty ever since due to high maintenance costs. I spent a couple of hours capturing the perfect angles and shapes in the impressive main hall with my wide-angle 14-24mm f/2.8 lens. A two-minute exposure allowed me to reveal the architecture of the place, which otherwise sat in darkness. The central framing gives the photograph its power, drawing the eye to the centre. To me, it almost looks like a spaceship.
