Anthony Epes has travelled the world, from the mesmerising landscapes of northern Vietnam to the depths of the Sahara Desert, capturing their spirit on camera. This summer, he’s exploring the streets of London in the soft evening light and invites you to join him.
With a backdrop of one of the world’s greatest cities, you’ll focus on that elusive but critical skill for a photographer – how to see and then capture your surroundings in new and personal ways. We will set off on two carefully curated routes, taking in some of London’s most iconic landmarks and a selection of Anthony’s favourite spots to photograph the city – timed to coincide with the late summer sunset.
Anthony will teach you the techniques that underpin a powerful image, from the technical mastery of light and composition, to the art of observation and storytelling. With one-to-one guidance and a series of creative challenges, you’ll learn how to become a more perceptive and confident photographer.
Suitable for anyone with any kind of camera, you’ll be part of a small group with time for personalised feedback and group discussion.
Join us for one evening or both – and see London and your own photography in a new light.
