Christening photography at St Bartholomew the Great
I absolutely love photographing christenings at St Bartholomew The Great. It’s London’s oldest parish church, and the sense of history in the building is intense.
The juxtaposition of the super-modern buildings of Smithfields with this ancient church is just astonishing. It feels incredible to walk past glass towers and then to turn into this pocket that time forgot – it’s really dreamlike.
A note for Canon photographers – the dark, atmospheric lighting calls for a Canon 5D Mk IV. A mark III simply wouldn’t cut it – the ISO required is very high indeed.
As a christening photographer, I’m in a lot of different churches throughout the year, but I have to admit to St Bart’s The Great being my favourite. It’s so majestic, and the history is palpable.
