Exploring London Since 2007
Yesterday I attended Photo School’s creative photography workshop for beginners, run by the experienced and talented professional photographer, Jon Mortimer. I had a great time – we started off with an hour-long discussion about techniques in a room off the balcony of the very grand Crosse Keys pub in the City (clearly the headquarters banking […]
This week at the digital-photography-school.com, the competition is “weather” and we’ve certainly had some of that today in London.
