Our London guide will walk you through the South bank of Thames in London. This part of town is a beautiful mix of history and modern architecture, quiet hidden corners and lively streets and it is a source of huge photographic inspiration. Please accept the invitation from great professional photographer Shaun Hines, who lives and photographs in London already for 25 years.
London, South of the River
Diverse, historic & multi-cultural, London is a photographer’s playground. You’ll find fascinating architecture, a wide range of markets all with their own character; maybe you like capturing images of locals & visitors interacting with the many activities on offer? It can all be found in this exciting & vibrant city. But where do we begin?
London is vast, we can spend long hours trying to work out a suitable itinerary for our photography, we need to know where to go & when. Using this guide you’ll get to some great locations but how about specialist photographic information such as technical tips & other practical advice? Wouldn’t it be a shame to produce images identical to every other visitor? The guide will help with these issues also.
This first guide in my series will take you on a photographic exploration that starts at London’s Southbank by the iconic London Eye & heads east towards Waterloo Bridge with its famous book fair & energetic skate-park. Keeping to the banks of the River Thames we’ll explore the Tate Modern art gallery, Millennium Bridge & Shakespeare’s Globe Theater. There’s nowhere quite like Borough Market, a great place for street photography & fabulous food, you’ll be spoilt for choice on both counts.
Taking a small detour off the main tourist route you’ll be able to wander through the cobblestoned walkways of Shad Thames & the back streets of London with the echoes of a bygone age. These are the areas where you’re results will look completely different from the regular holiday shots we’re all familiar with.
