Just a minor correction…
La Sagrada Familia isn’t exactly Gothic architecture. Gaudí sought to create a style with his works that was uniquely Catalan. While you’ll see Gothic influence, it would be more apt (if narrowing the style of his architecture down to one descriptor) to consider it Expressionist or Art Nouveau.
Gaudí largely pioneered the use of Art Nouveau in architecture and design.
But to be more accurate, Art Nouveau, Catalan Modernism, Catalan Noucentisme, with late Spanish Gothic (or more neo-Gothic) elements.

My apologies. Gaudí is my favorite architect, and I’m picky about the accuracy of things like that (as a former architecture and design student).

On a completely different note, your work is just gorgeous. I came to your blog post because I’m trying to decide what lens to buy before going back to Barcelona so that I can shoot it (and his other works… Casa Batlló is my favorite). Especially figuring out how I’ll shoot the entirety of the exterior… I’m sure it will have to be from a great distance, and from some height. Couldn’t do it from the ground (as you know, they’ve got quite a high gate around it that blocks line of sight).

But thanks for this. Your work is breathtaking.

Hi Jenna! So happy you found me too! Thanks so much for your lovely words 🙂
For these shots inside La Sagrada Familia I was using a Nikon D800 with a 14-24mm wide angle lens, which is the same focal length as my 7-14mm lens currently noted in the page you mentioned. It definitely helps to have a wide angle lens when you visit to capture the immense beauty inside there!
Are you visiting soon?

Thanks Sarah! Inside is like no church I’ve ever seen before…such an elaborate yet intricate design that definitely makes you a little dizzy if you stare at the ceiling too long! Definitely take a peek if you find yourself in Barcelona one day 🙂

So lovely to hear Katie! It was an ideal setting when I went, such beautiful light!
