Tuol Sleng - S21

Thanks all for the comments.

The picture was taken in Toul Sleng (S21) Genocide Museum in Phenom Penh, Cambodia. It is a old school which was converted a prison for political prisoner / undesirable by the Khmer Rough in the 70's.

It is a very powerfull place you can feel what happened there - in other rooms are pictures of the people who came through S21 and were ultimate executed, in some case just because they wore glass or spoke a foreign language.

I wanted to capture the atmosphere of the room and how you imagine it could have been. S21 is famous for it reddy brown faded tiled floors; but, I felt B&W was the only way to show the true atmosphere.

The box on the bed is ammumnition box if you need any more confirmation this is a tragic place.

the post processing is simple technique found on you tube involving gradient map and high pass filters with strong vignette to add gloom and pull in the eye.
