A few more pictures from London.
We met on the third day, with our models near London bridge. We then split up in small groups and explored this one little street for photo opportunities. We found a neat garage, where the workers loved all the buzz we created, they watched, then participated in our pictures, and even pulled out some fancy cars for props. A little further down the road, we came along a wonderful pub, where we spent a great deal of time posing the girls in a very cool environment. Most of the fallowing pictures are from that location.
Here, Ama is lounging in a comfy chair in the pub.

Liz in the pub.

I love the picture of Ama, in front of the old card, it definitely has an old feel about it. Same for the close up portrait of Liz, she appears like a famous hollywood star from the 40ies.

Marco and Vanessa. I used split lighting on Marco’s portrait.

Vanessa in front of the London eye, the “eiffel tour” of London. We called it a huge ferris wheel, but soon learned the locals are very sensitive about their famous landmark, and prefer to refer to it as the “London eye”. It is truly the biggest ferris wheel in the world (I’ve done some internet research)

A night view of London, as we were making our way to the London eye, we had a lovely walk in the evening along side of the river Thames. The streets were so lively, and I was surprised to see such a night life until very late.

I’ve been gone for a while, but I’m back to blogging.
I’ve just returned from an amazing week in London with world famous wedding photographer, (drum roll please) Scott Robert. It was my second workshop with him (we call it: “hopping on the Scott Robert wagon”), and he keeps getting better. He’s passionate about photography, he’s pursuing an artistic vision whenever he’s holding a camera (all the time), and he loves to teach. The group of attendees was small, only 8 of us, so we all got a lot of time with Scott and made some beautiful imagery. We had 5 striking models working with us, so generous with their time and patience. I loved spending time with this talented group of photographers, our week was packed with exceptional teaching in the UK’s beautiful capital, and so much fun, always in the best atmosphere. It was “brilliant” as they say there. We owe a lot of thanks to Dave, who helped a lot with the logistics of the trip, and who also had arrange for our work to be exposed at the end of the week in a trendy art gallery in London!!! It was so exciting and rewarding for us to see our images up on a gallery wall in central London, with people making a night of it. They will be for sale and the monies collected will go towards the Cheer foundation (which helps single mothers in London) that Dave is involved with.
Again, I can’t say enough good things about the whole experience, the wonderful friends I’ve made. I’m glad to see my children now, and spend one last week in France before we return to the US.
Now, on with the pictures:
