Event: Chinese New Year
Venue: West End and Chinatown – London
Date: 10th February 2013
The Year of the Snake was celebrated in style in London as the Chinese community celebrated their new year.
There was a parade in the streets of London around the Chinatown and a hive of activity in Chinatown itself as visitors flocked the area to get into the spirit of the Chinese New Year celebrations despite the cold and wet weather.

London’s Southbank best area to get a few random shots of tourists and Londoners alike. Sometimes all you have to do is look up and VIOLA!
#SnappingLondon
I have to admit, as cold as it was, I somehow managed to walk to my pal’s place and took the opportunity of the ‘white stuff’ to photograph her son. Good thing that they only lived 20mins walk from my house (they have since moved).
So, with my camera ready…..snapping the snow covered landscape en-route to her house, I managed to get there with myself and kit in one piece. Walking on ice/snow it not for the weak. One needs special shoes, clothing and walking skills.

Snow covered street near where I live…

Snow covered church on my friend’s street….
All in all, after much convincing for them to leave the house, I set up the location just outside her door. Snow has got to be the best natural reflector ever. You don’t need to do much to get the light under the model’s chin, eyes, etc. Shame about it being cold and dealing with a child……I would have loved to continue to take more pictures.
Here are some of the shots taken on the day…..

All smiles as Aayan steps out in the snow for the first time…

Aayan’s mum takes a picture of us fooling around as he refused to walk in the snow…

The boy has had enough of the white stuff…
I went ahead and ordered 8 x 12 prints for them via @LoxleyColour and they loved them.
