Location Two: The Square Mile
The art of looking up
London’s Square Mile is ever changing and I’ve come back to this area to see it with fresh eyes. It’s a new approach for me and on this workshop I aim to show you how I now see this location. There’s new buildings and new views, offering creative ways of capturing London’s financial district and making brand new exciting compositions. Plus London’s best rooftop view!
There are many photography workshops out there.
But not all workshops are the same!

The workshop
During the workshop we will cover a range of techniques required for urban photography. We’ll look at the use of different lenses, creating abstracts, shooting for impact and making creative compositions. You’ll learn about the various controls and settings on your camera including choice of shutter speed and aperture, reading the histogram, changing ISO and using White Balance. We have various LEE filters for you to try, including ND grads (hard and soft type), Polarisers and ND Standards.
You’ll also learn to ‘see’. How to see as I do. This isn’t a ‘here’s a nice view, go take a picture’ type of workshop. No, I encourage you to find the picture and then we work together to make it the best version we can. Together we find the views other photographer’s seem to miss. Learn an approach that will serve you well in any environment, urban or landscape.
So, if you really DO want to learn, if you DO want to see as I see and become more confident with your camera and its settings, perhaps, give this two-day workshop a go.
