03 In his words

Making the photograph

For photographing this bath,I went there for several times and sat on it's couches for hours.

I tried to choose an hour which artificial lights were off in it and the only light source would be the one which comes from the holes in the ceiling.You can see the result in the picture.

An interesting fact that I found out about this bath was that it's heat source was only a small flame and under the bath there was advanced channels which transfered smoke and heat.
