Basement - 1933 Shanghai

"View the image bigger on my website"

 

Back in the end of September I visited a place called "1933 Shanghai". It was original built as a slaughter house in (you guessed it...) 1933 but it's currently used as an arts & culture style venue.

 

Walking around this 4 story concrete art-deco building, you do get some weird vibes. You can tell that the place has seen some stuff and this room is definitely one of the more creepy ones!

 

Sidenote: I didn't "setup" this scene. I went down to the basement level, walked into a series of connected rooms and came upon this room with the old chair near the window and the pentagram on the wall that looks like it was drawn in blood.

 

After checking I wasn't about to be jumped by a serial killer and become his latest victim, I knew I had to do a HDR of the place and give it the dark, grungy treatment.

 

I'm also thinking of doing a full blown tutorial on this shot as this entire post-processing from start to finish is non-destructive. So keep your eye out for that soon!
