Best photo tour ever!

5.00I could not have asked for a better photography tour, guide or instructor. I had the good fortune of having one of the owners of the company as my instructor and she knew not all the best locations but had amazing expertise in night photography. Long exposures…ND filters….Bulb mode. All the areas that I don’t typically do in my photography. She really helped me step outside of my comfort zone, not only in composition, but from a technical standpoint. I have taken other photography related tours in Europe, and this one was the best.
A great way to see London and make art

5.00I enjoyed my photography tour around London. Having a local guide who is both a photography educator and knowledgeable of the local area made this the perfect excursion. I’m an experienced photographer but was only in town for two days on my first-ever trip to London. I needed to make the most of my time while trying to see and capture as much as I could. Home with beautiful images that will soon hang on my walls.
Excellent night of photography

5.00I had a wonderful time taking night photos around London with Lou. She is very knowledgeable about night photography and photography in general. I learned a lot from her. She talked about composition, using light to compose the picture, and being patient. I got some great photos of the London Eye and St. Paul Cathedral from across the Thames. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn more about night photography.
Skilled photographer, great instructor

5.00Lou was absolutely amazing and everything that we wanted in a photography guide. She helped with settings on our cameras, she took us to stellar locations where we could get some stunning compositions. She is an excellent teacher, calm and patient. If I could’ve given her 10 stars, I would’ve done so. I highly recommend using her services. :-)
Wonderful experience

5.00I’m a budding photographer and wanted to learn nighttime photography. I also wanted to see London at night. I found Lou on this site and jumped at the opportunity. In spite of a bit of rain and wind, Lou did not disappoint. I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed seeing London at night. Lou is a sweetheart even though she struggled to understand my southern drawl. She is a pro’s pro and has forgotten more about photography than I could hope to know. Don’t hesitate to book with Lou and you’ll love the experience and learn from this pro.
Exceptional experience

5.00The tour with Lou was fantastic, I learnt so much from her easy style. Her instructions were easy to understand, my questions were all answered and I learnt so much about night photography and my new camera with her. I was able to capture great photos of some iconic buildings in London at nighttime. Communication was fantastic prior to the tour and instructions for the meeting place were easy to understand and Lou was very punctual and very patient with me. I highly recommend Lou and hope to be back again one day for another tour.

5.00Fantastic tour and experience. Lou was a great mentor explaining lighting, composition, exposure and focussing methods. Also gave me some practical tips for night photography and photographing in public. I have now got some professional looking images which I cannot wait to process back home in Australia. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone wishing to improve their city eve/night photography.
Best suited for an intermediate photgrapher, but OK for beginner

5.00I recently bought my first SLR camera. The instruction by Lou was superb and she was very patient--but I was ill-prepared and lacked the experience to benefit optimally from this tour. Notwithstanding my lack of experience, I learned quite a bit about my new camera and came home with some amazing photos.
