Classic London and Photography
Classic London and photography – it’s a marriage made in heaven. Improve your photography skills and capture stunning photos while exploring the most iconic places in the heart of London. Come away knowing how to take high impact photographs (as opposed to ‘snaps’) of Westminster and the City of London and beyond, whilst also discovering places you wouldn’t normally encounter on London sightseeing tours.
Guided by a professional photographer, David, this is an immensely enjoyable and informative photo tour. Our photographer-guide sheds light on both shutter speeds and London landmarks! David imparts expert advice on using your camera, new techniques and street photography. He helps you “find the decisive spot” at iconic landmarks along the River Thames like the London Eye, St Paul’s Cathedral, The Shard, Millennium Bridge and Tower Bridge. Into the bargain, he also introduces you to the rich oddities hidden in the woodwork. It’s a gem of a tour – a thoughtfully curated London outing and a rich photographic experience all rolled up into one.
So, yes, this walking tour/ photography course combo has a lot going for it – a good time, a guided tour, rich pickings both in terms of your craftsmanship (what you learn) and what David’s vantage points serve up, a very agreeable social element, and the big payoff – the takeaways – the captures – the stunning London cityscapes and portraits you’ll get.
Anything else? Yes, your guide/tutor is one of life’s good guys. A gentle soul, he’s warm, kindly and generous.
