Church #2: From the Lectern of St Johannes Church


St Johannes Church is located at the northern end of Norrmalm, Stockholm. The parish can be dated back to 1651 and the current building was inaugurated in 1890. The church is Gothic Revival in style, with graceful and spectacular design. I am particularly attracted by its ornate interior, which is absolutely breathtaking! 

Weekend morning can be good timing to visit the church. I have been visiting this church for many times, despite its excellent location and vicinity to the city center, I haven't seen big crowds in there. This picture was taken from the tall lectern next to the altar - which is a rare opportunity for such a spectacular church. Sometimes, get taller will give you a fresh set of eye in composing, particularly in architectural photography.

Other than good composition and light, the most important part about church interior photography is respect. Rule no. 1 - ask the permission to shot.

Enjoy the beauty of St Johannes Church! Happy Friday!
