Photography Tips

The photographer stands on the church floor, using an upward angle to place the stained glass windows and the central chandelier in the center of the frame. The golden pillars on both sides are symmetrically arranged, forming a balanced composition. The framing includes the stained glass windows, chandelier, and the arched decorations at the top. It is recommended to use a wide-angle lens to capture the details of the internal structure and the opulent decorations. 1.
