There is something about a good staircase that seems to draw photographers to shoot it. Perhaps it’s the repetition and patterns in the steps or it could be the geometric shapes that often appear around them. Whatever it is – staircases present some cool possibilities when you’re out shooting so keep your eye open for them. Here are a few to get you thinking about how to photograph staircases.

I love spiral staircases so much it almost brought tears to my eyes looking at all those eye-candy shots!
Have only been in a few places where I’ve been able to photograph one. Now I’ve got the urge to go find some more! Here’s my example:

Most intriguing subject yet, your vision of stairs: everything is round, as life is. One of my favorate art vision, and maybe add house-, building portals.Reminds me of my dad’s wrought irlon balconies and banisters, and maybe mention how as kids we used to slide down four sets of stairs in our house, taking care to avoid the upright cone at the end of the bannister. Perfect for castrati management. Laugh: New Years is in the way!

As to the picture “Green” above (the staircase with the green palm in the centre) I was flabbergasted to see that I had taken exactly the same motive from a different angle two years later. I am glad that I had not seen “Green” earlier, since it had mot probably prevented me from taking an “inferior” view.
You can see my version on my blog http://emilems.blogspot.se/2012/04/some-like-it-hot.html

In response to Emil Ems, I am flattered by your comment about my photo, “Green”. I just wanted to add a little color commentary about that photo. Working across from the Embarcadero Center for about a year, I spent many a lunch hour shooting in Embarcadero Center. What I found is that the weather and time of day (and year) play a large role in how your image comes out. So in a sense, it wasn’t that I took a spectacular picture; I found a great image and was the lucky recipient of the perfect weather and time of day. What I wished I had was my ultra-wide angle lens that day; for this image, I could only go as wide as 18mm on an APS-C DSLR (about 27mm). This is why I believe it is important to visit the same subject multiple times at different times of the day or year.
BTW, I also took a photo of the staircase from the same perspective as you and I don’t think it’s a worse perspective, just a very different way of seeing it.

An image I took in the Museum of Liverpool. Used a 1/15 shutter to get the bair of the people.

These are awesome looking stairs! Some of them look like roller coasters so I’m not sure I’d feel safe walking up some.
