The London Photo Festival returns in October (16th - 18th), Borough/London Bridge - the theme being 'Landscape' photography. I am a big fan of urban landscape and so I am participating two of my New York City urban shots at the exhibition, well just because I love NYC and these photos bring back great memories of my trip. I must return there soon!



If you are a member of my Meetup page WE SHOOT PEOPLE then I shall be organising a group social meeting event around this exhibition. Date to be confirmed closer to the time.

In the meantime, check out the London Photo Festival website for further details.

Good news - two of my street photography images have been selected for exhibit at a prestigious wine bar/restaurant in the London Bridge area for 6 months!

There will be a Private Viewing on 29th July, 6pm-8pm @ The Bridge Lounge and Dining Room.

If you can't make that evening, the exhibition will be running until December!

Hammersmith London hosted a free live big screening of La Boheme from The Royal Opera House into Lyric Square. I was hired as photographer for this event. The brief from Hammersmith London was to capture the essence of the event, the social atmosphere and elements of the amazing crowd that turned up to watch it on a great summers evening. The Mayor of Hammersmith & Fulham and special guests were also in attendance as special guests.

I did some events photography for Hammersmith London at Theatre In The Square (Lyric Square). Light The Fuse, a new theatre production company put on a great outdoor performance called FULL STOP, that all takes place by a bus stop! I was asked to get some photos of the performance but also capture the life around Hammersmith's infamous Lyric Square. Great fun taking photos for this outdoor event.

I am a featured photographer on the Rinse IO website : Stories behind photography series. My short story called Londonium about street photography and London. Check it out!



"If you wish to have a just notion of the magnitude of this city, you must not be satisfied with seeing its great streets and squares, but must survey the innumerable little lanes and courts. It is not in the showy evolutions of buildings, but in the multiplicity of human habitations which are crowded together, that the wonderful immensity of London consists."

Check out a little interview I did with the Street Photography London blog this week...



Can you identify for us the main reason you shoot street work?

As mentioned, I have a interest in people, but I am also quite an empathetic person and can read others pretty quickly. I started in the portraiture style of street, but soon progressed into being more creative with multiple elements such as with light play, geometry, POVs, urban scenes, etc into my photos.....

I'm happy to announce that I sold my street photography image 'Paris' at the London Photo Festival yesterday. The buyer said they loved it and looked forward to hanging it in their new home :-)



If you are interested in purchasing a print of this image, please contact me for more details.

We Shoot People Group at the London Photo Festival

In collaboration with the London Photo Festival, I hosted a We Shoot People - Street Photography Group walk in and around London Bridge / Borough Market. Followed by a social networking night at the Click N' Clique evening at LPF later that evening. We extended the evening for more socialising at the Blue Eyed Maid pub in London Bridge. Thanks to the landlord for his hospitality!

All in all, a very successful and busy night for both new and regular members of the group to interact, discuss and exchange ideas on all things street photography.

News just in.....

My 'Soho Rain' photo came 3rd in the overall public voting at the London Photo Festival exhibition this week!



The 'Spotlight' image was also in the top 12!




I believe there were approximately 55 exhibitors taking part and 145 images on display. It was a very successful exhibition, Emma Mapp and Kit Shah the co-founders as always do a great job in organising this event. Big thanks to them for their time and effort. The next event is in May 2014 and the theme is..... 'Street Photography'! They are taking bookings now.

Good news! One of my favourite taken shots 'Soho Rain' sold at the London Photo Festival today! When I asked the purchaser what they liked about the photo, they said "There's something about the photo that takes me to a happy place".

If you are interested in a signed (framed or unframed) 16" x 12" print of 'Soho Rain' please get in touch: info@lindawisdomphotography.co.uk

Emerging Photographers

Back from my week in Paris, which was a guest invitation trip to John Free's Paris Workshops. Fantastic city, great weather (apart from last day of rain!), though typically wonderful for street photography, I could get used to Parisian life... but home in London calls me for now!

Check out the Paris gallery for forthcoming images.

Au revoir!

Its an honour to have been asked to be a contest judge for award.io.
