Chasing Light in Photography Whatever The Weather !
The Spirit of London as Crowds Make Their Way Home in the Rain
The never ending preoccupation with the weather is a feature of living in the UK. We talk about it all the time. We are either too hot, cold or wet! Whatever the weather, my photographer’s eye looks for light. The aftermath of rain creates amazing lighting conditions. Cast your mind back to the Thames River Pageant during the Diamond Jubilee and remember the weather – Yep! it did rain. In this photograph crowds make their way home in the pouring rain. This shot was taken as the crowd passed under a bridge which created pockets of light and shade. This gives an illuminated quality to parts of the crowd, while other areas are partially lit. The crowd slows and patiently moves forward to queue for the tube station. Perfect! Light and shadows creating a filmic quality to the scene.

Photography Courses London – On the Street with Lou Smith
Street Photography Workshops London – Right Royal View
Street photography is a great way to document the time in which you live. 2012 has been a great year for the Brits in Flying the Flag. Union Jack craze has created a frenzy of flag waving during the Diamond Jubilee which was quickly followed by London Olympics 2012.
Right Royal View explores our relationship and fascination with Royalty. Scale of subjects is contrasted against the huge presence of the Royals! Yep! our fascination never stops.

Diamond Jubilee 2012 – Street Portraiture with Lou Smith
The Guys and Gals of the Diamond Jubilee 2012
- The Guys and Gals of the Diamond Jubilee 2012
Diamond Jubilee Day 2012 - Thousands of people travelled to Central London to watch the amazing River Pageant. Excitement in the air as crowds arrived in thousands to secure a place on the banks of the River Thames. Heavy rain dominated the day, but no one cared. Out came the Union Jack hats and umbrellas – nothing could dampen the revellers spirits as they waited for the flotilla of over 1000 boats. History in the making and thousands flocked to the river banks to watch.
Lou ran a Diamond Jubilee Creative Seeing Workshop specially for this historic event. We were lucky to get to the river side. This beautiful lady is adorned with Diamond Jubilee Dazzle complete with red, white and blue nails. Her daughter’s nails are decorated with the Union Jack. Special nails for a special day!

This handsome fella posed for Lou, tall and proud in his Union Jack hat. Everyone embraced the spirit of the day and rocked with the music and the rain. Happy to photograph and be photographed to celebrate this historic event. Red, white and blue is everywhere!
