Challenge yourself - you won't regret it! - Lou is an excellent guide, coach and teacher. We worked through different techniques and approaches to build my confidence and improve my technique. This was a real challenge for me personally in terms of how I normally take photographs, but worth every moment. We went to places with a vibrant street life that presented myriad opportunities but as well as becoming more confident it was also important to be come more selective. I learned to think about the image I wanted to create and how to capture it before pressing the shutter so that I could capture better, more meaningful images. An invaluable step on my photographic journey, and I can see the difference in my photographs before and after the workshop.

Lou was very thoughtful, methodical, and intentional with her approach in teaching photography. She understood the hurdles I wanted to overcome, and had me achieving stunning results by the end of the day.

A brilliant photo tour with London Photo Tours - A superb afternoon spent with Lou Smith of London Photo Tours, learning the principles and practical methodology of street photography. Lou took great trouble to explain the optimal camera set up, and then the way in which to take street scene images. During the afternoon, we had break-away sessions to practice our techniques, and then Lou reviewed the images in a helpful and positive way. Lou was at all times encouraging and supportive, able to sensibly critique my images and from which I learned a lot. A fantastic and highly recommendable experience.
