Vertical Panoramas of Church Ceilings Around the World


In 2012, photographer Richard Silver started photographing the ceilings of churches in New York City. After some experimenting, Silver discovered that he could stitch 6-10 photos in Photoshop, creating a panorama.

However, instead of going from left to right, Silver’s panoramas went from top to bottom. These ‘vertical panoramas’ turned into an ongoing photo series and Silver has been capturing church ceilings around the world ever since.
