Spiral staircases
One of my favorite interior architectural subjects to shoot is spiral staircases.
Standing at the bottom and looking up transforms a dull-looking staircase into
a creative image with echoes of classic art pieces. It normally works best to
take the photo looking upwards from the dead centre at the foot of the
staircase towards the top, but sometimes these shots work equally as well
looking down from the top to the bottom. When shooting pictures like this,
I tend to use a wide-angle lens to get as much detail in as possible. This makes
the staircase look bigger and longer than it often is in reality, netting you an
epic photograph with a powerful, almost hypnotic, presence to it. As you can
see in the image to the right, the top of this staircase had some lights in the
ceiling above, which add an extra element of intrigue to the frame.
