Monochrome Brilliance: Brasília Cathedral

A black-and-white, high-contrast image of Brasília's Cathedral (Catedral Metropolitana Nossa Senhora Aparecida) designed by Oscar Niemeyer. Shot from a low ground-level angle to magnify the sculpture: 16 slender concrete columns rise in a ring to form a crown around a glowing circular nave with glass walls. Emphasize Niemeyer’s modern, sculptural design with dramatic geometry and negative space. Use a wide-angle lens for sweeping perspective, deep depth of field, and crisp textures of concrete. Monochrome tones should highlight stark light and shadow, with a moody sky gradient from charcoal to gray and a subtle reflection on a damp pavement. Cinematic architectural photography with minimalist composition.
