We've been away for most of this year, but we are back and will be having some free photography walks and challenges starting in October. Sign up to be among the first to know.
A community for locals
We meet for regular free street photography walks with a photo challenge. A great opportunity to visit interesting locations in London, meet some friends and photograph with a shared purpose.
The locations and mini challenges are informative and interesting, helping you learn new skills and put them into practice.
There are also occassional paid-for workshops, looking at particular aspects or approaches to street photograpy.
One-to-one and small group sessions can also be arranged.A destination for visitors
If you are not a regular London street photographer, then come and join the locals for a free street photography walk.
If you would like something different, then one-to-one and small group sessions can be arranged for your visit to London; from an evening of photography around Soho to a whole week of varied street photography activities.
If you have fellow travellers who are not keen photographers we can offer them a variety of other interesting activities.A few thoughts about street photography
Don't be nervous
Street photography should be a joy!
People often think that street photograph will be scary. But done in the right place in the right way and it's easy to feel comfortable.
Relax, slow down and be calm. Take pictures you feel comfortable taking, you don't even have to photograph people.
Come out of the shadows, put away the long lens and be proud of your street photography.
Think, don't just click!
Be intentional in your approach
It's easy to spend a day taking pictures but come away without any images to be proud of.It can help to think about what you want to create, maybe make a simple plan. You'll stand a better chance of being happy with your photos when you have a few ideas to work with.
You may not stick to the plan, but it can give your photography direction.Look beyond a single image
What are the links and patterns
Like the songs of a good 70's album, it's great when your images start to work together. To have their own rhythm; in tune with each other and part of your story.
Rather than just looking for a single great image, try to find some that go together.
Start a project, build a body of work, and develop a street photography style of your own.What is Street Photography?
What an interesting question
So many opinions, so many different answers!
It should be up to the photographer to define what street photography means to them. Do things your own way, but respect and enjoy the work of others, whatever their approach.Enjoy looking at other street photographers images, have discussions with others and undertanding what they think.
It's good to just understand, respect and maybe learn a little from each other.REVIEWS

Custom workshop review
My partner, Derek and I had the privilege of spending half a day with Peter touring some of his favourite photography spots around London.
We were looking for someone to take us to some of the less travelled locations and Peter knew just where to take us. He is a genuinely lovely person, easy to spend time with, a good listener and an excellent photographer.
Peter listened to what we were interested in, and came up with an itinerary that took us to places we had never thought to explore. He was patient with our questions about how he might frame a particular shot. He offered help, tips and insights that have really made a difference in our photography. We only booked half a day, but could have spent the entire day - and will certainly book Peter again when we are next in London.

Workshop review
Many thanks for your help and efforts, all of which were appreciated. You covered what I wanted to understand and I now feel much more confident with the camera and what I am trying to do.
I feel that it’s all moving in the desired direction and good progress is being made. Undoubtedly I’ll see you again in a few months time, I hope.
Again, thanks very much for your help today (and indeed on past occasions too).

Photowalk review
A massive thank you from John and I, the photo walk was perfect...
I have to say how much I appreciated how you pitched your briefing, encouraging people to take photos. I will send a couple of images for your comments.
Count me in for future photo walks in London, the experience helped me slow down and give more consideration to the subject. It’ll be good to apply that again seeing things through fresh eyes.
Thanks again for a wonderfully successful photo walk.
Anne, London
