Striking Photos by Peter Li Capture the Soaring Majesty of Sacred Spaces [View all]

“Rivendell,” Sainte-Chapelle, Paris.


“Viserion,” Ely Cathedral, U.K.

London-based photographer Peter Li considers the cathedrals, basilicas, and historic spaces he captures to be “living vessels of light, symmetry, and time.”

Many of his panoromas span 180 degrees and offer a symmetric, reflective view of the space through a meticulous stitching process. This perspective accentuates the dramatic, all-consuming effect of standing beneath ascendant rib vaults and majestic columns.
