Zandra Rhodes Photography

Dame Zandra Rhodes, famous for her fashion. A trend setter and designer for the rich and famous. She opened the London Fashion and Textile Musuem.

I personally quite like the effect, the sun set and the long shutter speed for just the right amount of movement on the river. Not normally one to go and seek landscapes or even really considered myself as a true landscape photographer, but it’s something that I could get to love and can easily see what the attraction is for others. If you fancy letting me know your thoughts it’d be apprciated, or would like to know anymore about landscape photography or any aspect of photography for that matter feel free to drop me a line. I’m contemplating running a few photography […]
