Sagrada Família Photography - Angles and Timing

Exterior: morning favors Nativity; evening favors Passion. Interior: expose for highlights, then let color fill the mids. A 24–35mm lens covers most views; go wider for nave height.

Outside Angles

• Plaça de Gaudí (east pond) for reflections of Nativity.
• Avinguda de Gaudí axis for layered telephoto shots.
• Western square for Passion at golden hour.

Inside Angles

• Sit beneath the crossing; shoot verticals to emphasize height.
• Diagonals along aisles blend columns with color fields.

Settings

• ISO 400–1600 indoors; shutter 1/30–1/125 if stabilized.
• ETTR for windows; pull back highlights in post.

Etiquette

• Avoid blocking sightlines; no tripods during services.
• Be patient — the light changes fast.
