aking photos of
interiors is something
I love doing – but
shooting indoor
spaces isn’t always
easy. You may come across
restrictions on the use of tripods or
flash, so you need to be precise with
your camera settings in order to get
a well-exposed and noiseless image.
Special attention must be paid to
composition, which I think makesup 90% of a good image. One of the
tricks I use a lot while composing
my shots is to turn on the camera’s
Live View mode and set the picture
control [on a Nikon camera – other
brands use different terminology] to
Monochrome. This gives you a black
and white image preview and is useful
for revealing the balance between
shadows and highlights in your
chosen composition.

(above)For this shot I tried to apply
the Fibonacci Golden Ratio to
the composition. I also had to
figure out how to make the
people an integral part of it.

18mm; f/6.3, 1/20 sec, ISO 160Bordeaux Cathedral
The cathedral’s imposing
architecture, with light shining
in from above and the rigid
chair arrangement in the
hall creating a dark shadow,
makes a dramatic scene.

16mm; 1/40 sec, f/4, ISO 2,Calatrava Sail
The Calatrava Sail is an
enormous construction on the
outskirts of Rome. The grid of
the structure itself provided
a key element in this shot, as
it directs the eye upwards.
