You can make beautiful photos and still respect the house.
Do’s and Don’ts

- Avoid blocking paths; be courteous.
- Mind reflections on gilding.
| Space | Angle Tip |
|---|---|
| Grand Staircase | 3/4 from mid‑landing |
| Auditorium | Oblique from side tiers |
| Roof Views | Golden hour panoramas |
Cloud cover is your friend—soft light, deeper texture.
Shoot close → medium → wide sequences to tell a story.
