Monumental madrassas photoshoot at Registan Square
Samarkand · Uzbekistan
About this experience
Registan Square in Samarkand is a broad plaza framed by three grand madrasas. Tile-covered portals, blue domes and symmetrical facades form one of the most recognisable views on the Silk Road. Standing in the middle and looking in three directions sums up the scale at a glance.
Light matters for photographs: morning and late afternoon bring warmer colours to the tiles. A wide-angle lens helps.
