  1. Finding the photographer within – Masterclass. I found this an informative and worthwhile class. Having never done anything like this before, it was extremely rewarding particularly as the guidance given by Lou was useful and pertinent. I certainly was taking an improved standard of picture towards the end of the class. Lou’s knowledge is vast and is matched with her enthusiasm for a great picture. I certainly would recommend to anyone who has some understanding to consider this practical and hands on class.

    1. Thank you for your excellent feedback Ian. Really pleased that you enjoyed Finding the Photographer Within – Masterclass and learned new things about photography and image making. Your contribution to the course and during the review session where you shared your images with the group was fantastic. Thank you very much for this. It was a pleasure meeting and working with you. Looking forward to meeting you again on your next trip to London.

      Kind Regards
      Lou Smith

  2. China Town to Covent Garden Tour. This was a fantastic tour that exceeded my expectations. Lou Smith is very knowledgeable and good at explaining the best way to take a shot and some unusual places to get better angles. The tour was individualized to what I wanted to get out of it. During our snack break we reviewed all my shots and she made comments on what was working well and other options I might consider. We compared my shots to some of hers and how the different compositions worked. I will definitely take another photo tour when I am next in London.

    1. Thank you for your excellent feedback Anne. Delighted to know that you enjoyed the London Photography Tour we completed together and that you learned so many new ways to explore and compose your photos. Would love to meet and work with you again on your next visit to London.

      Kind Regards
      Lou Smith

  3. Again, I did a wonderful workshop. Just before Christmas the workshop Street Photography. And again I learned a lot. Especially I over came my fear to take photos from people whom I do not know. It was a great joy to photograph people on the street and I could not stop, for there were so many different situations. Lou, thanks again, next when I am over, I subscribe for another one!
