About This Image

This London print is something of a rarity in my artwork. I love to include people in my scenes but rarely are they featured at this level. That’s something of a riddle as I have always loved people watching. Yet I have rarely ventured into candid street photography.

I think it was in some part the spirit of the moment. I stood there gazing across the London skyline on the deck of the Millennium Bridge. There was a nearly constant parade of people crossing the Thames that beautiful afternoon. It felt for the world like the catwalk of a fashion show in the bright sun. And what an awesome backdrop to that catwalk with no less than the great baroque dome of Saint Paul’s Cathedral and that incredible British sky!

With the perfect scene simply missing the right people, I set up camp with my camera and took part in the time-honored tradition of street photography. I framed the scene and waited for the people to hit the mark.

There’s a real sense of spontaneity to this style of photography. Instead of framing an extant image, I was working in reverse. Normally I would find a focal point and frame the image around it. In this case, I had created a stage and was waiting for the actors to make the moment complete.

I have a small collection of these photos from that brief afternoon camped on the Millennium bridge in London. Of all those pictures, there was something about this single image that popped. It has a life of its own and a real candid sense of the people who call London home. The two ladies who hit the mark in this one really had the right feel to bring drama to this art print.

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
