Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon, Sunset, Night
All months of the year are suitable to photograph this stairwell.
Since it's an interior station, you can come here any time during opening hours. I recommend early morning or late at night when there would be fewer people in your shot.

Field tips

Please be careful and watch your step when taking this shot of the stairs. Also, be mindful of other people that are in transit.
I suggest using a wide-angle lens (14mm) to capture the entirety of the walls and the stairs.
By standing in the center of the stairwell you'll be able to create a sense of symmetry. The symmetrical feel can be further emphasized if you frame a model in the center of the image.
Try to explore the station as there is definitely more to see and photograph!
