Before You Pose — A Few Tips
Golden Hour
The hour after sunrise and before sunset bathes London in the most flattering, warm light.

Embrace the Rain
Wet pavements reflect lights beautifully — a rainy London shot is often the most atmospheric.
Rule of Thirds
Place yourself to one side of the frame — let London's architecture fill the other half.
