Any month is great to visit the church as the sunlight doesn’t change the scene much.

In the late-afternoon (before sunset) the light tends to project best on the cathedral. You may see light rays emanating from the ceiling windows — it’s an amazing moment to photograph!

Keep quiet. People may be praying at the cathedral so be sure not to disturb them.

Don't use flash inside the cathedral. Since the inside is a bit dark, consider using a tripod and doing a long exposure. Otherwise, try using a lens with a larger aperture (~f/2.8) which allows your camera to capture more light (I didn’t use a tripod for the featured image).

I recommend using a wide-angle lens (12mm) and to photograph horizontally. This will help you capture the entirety of the catherdral and its beautifully designed symmetrical architecture. You can even get a reflective composition!

If you’re photographing a model try placing them in the middle of the corridor.
