Chapelle Saint-Jean, Marseille (France)

This case study is based on a job made within the framework of the restauration project of St James Church, issued by the DRAC-PACA.

The purpose is to realise slices of the church, from a photographic survey. This work will consist in a serie of unwrapped orthophotographies describing the whole interior of the building: walls, vaults, refends.

Because of the building morphology (interior divided into three separated rooms, obstacles, low luminosity level, etc.),  this document describes simply and completely the approach for this kind of acquisition.

The survey was made with the NIKON D3X (24 megapixels) and a 24-85mm lens. The lack of luminosity also needed to use a tripod.
