Photographing the interiors of large churches is often easier in winter than in the lighter months of the year. In summer the light streams in through the south windows and makes the exposure of the darkest and lightest areas difficult. However, in winter the natural light is often supplemented by artificial lighting that is placed to show off the structure to its best advantage. That is the case with Tewkesbury Abbey. Here the lights emphasise the arches, vaulting and the tile work of the floor to great effect, and contribute to the impression of richness that is a feature of most major churches.
