Incredible architecture in the Norman crypt at Worcester Cathedral. Like many cathedrals, the crypt is the oldest part of this building dating back to 1084. It features the multi-columned cushioned capitals which remain from the original monastic church begun by St Wulfstan.
The architecture is so spectacular they used these cloisters for a set in Harry Potter. Architectural photography at Gloucester Cathedral is an absolute delight. Yes, it a photogenic hot spot, but if you are patient enough you will be rewarded.
To create this shot the most important part of the workflow was how I captured the images to create it.
Okay – so when I mentioned photographic purism I forgot to add… I love photoshop and digital processing!! This photograph was captured inside St. Edmunsbury Cathedral Church (aka Bury Cathedral) looking west towards the main naive from the choir stalls.

Architectural photo featuring Norwich Cathedral organ and magnificent vault. This photo is actually a crop of a larger vertorama. One of the interesting things about creating a vertorama, is that it creates dramatic sweeps and bends in the architecture which gives this photo of Norwich Cathedral an almost organic feel.
Architectural photo features ornate cloisters at Gloucester Cathedral, UK. You may be wondering why there is a huge green rock sitting inside these cloisters. Well, so did I when I arrived! It was all part of an art exhibition being held at the cathedral.
Architectural photography doesn’t always have to be wide angle, but can also feature many details which are part of the architecture. After all it’s the sum of the parts that makes the whole. When taking or looking at wide angle shots we can enjoy and get lost in the geometry and scale of a building but sometimes we miss the details.
Architectural photography in Worcester Cathedral featuring the Norman crypt which was built way back in 1084. It would have been part of the original monastic church. This was quite an awkward angle to shoot even with a my 14-24mm maxed out at 14mm!
