Lately I have been trying to practice night time photography, and experimenting with long exposure and other night-time effects. So a few nights ago I headed down to Westminster Bridge in an attempt to capture the stunning beauty of London and the River Thames by night. From that spot, there are so many world-famous landmarks to capture, from the London Eye to the Houses of Parliament that I was really spoilt for choice in terms of what to shoot.
The files here have been compressed to significantly lower quality than the originals, but I hope you enjoy them anyway. As always, please don't copy them without asking me first!
A couple of weeks ago I was walking down Bellenden Road in Peckham when I came across some beautiful street art on the Victoria Inn.
Closer investigation revealed this artwork to be connected to the Conor Harrington street art featured in my previous post - they are both part of 'Baroque the Streets', which is Dulwich Street Art festival 2013. You can read more about the festival here.
This particular piece is by Belgian artist ROA, a big name in the international street art community. There is a great collection of his work on this tumblr, but if you're looking to see it for real, he recently did another similar work (May 2013) on the wall of Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre. Check it out!
I am looking for a couple getting married in the South-East London area who are willing to allow myself and my assistant to come along and take some photographs of their wedding.
As this is a practice for us to build our portfolio and advance our techniques, on this occasion we won't charge you anything, but in return we ask for open access to your special day and the rights to all photographs we take.
Please contact me if you would be interested or know someone who might be.
With all of the lovely summer weather over the last month, I have spent quite a lot of time out and about in parks and gardens. I have been trying to improve my close up shots, and love catching the intricate detail of flowers. So I thought for today's post, I'd share a selection of my best flower shots.
On Tuesday 6th August I headed down to Burgess Park to see the opening of the new BMX track, which is part of the council's revitalisation of the park.
The track is fantastic, national standard, and - as at the Southbank skate park last week - I managed to catch some intense action shots and stunts. There were some amazing riders of all ages and I was really impressed by the skills I saw out there.
I went down to check out Brixton Splash earlier and managed to take a few photos of the crowd from the top of the railway station. You can zoom in and tag yourself on the photo on my Facebook page.
I love street art. On a recent trip to Lordship Lane, East Dulwich, I saw that a new mural of two men fighting had appeared on the wall of a house opposite the East Dulwich Tavern.
A search online revealed this edgy period piece to be the work of Irish artist Conor Harrington. You can check out more of his work on his blog.
