Why Photograph London at Night?

London changes character after dark. Architecture is shown differently and reflections play a big role.

Our London night photography workshops take advantage of this shift. Locations are selected for their architectural interest, lighting quality and relative calm, allowing you to work slowly and attentively. This is about making photographs that reward time and concentration, not collecting landmarks.
