London Day 2

Back to the outside of Somerset House, Sunday 19th February.

Today was my day to leave London, so I headed off back to Somerset House to see if I could see any more fashion on the outside. This was also the first time I had actually gone into London completely alone! It was quite worrying thinking about train stops, and whether I was going to miss where I had to get off. I made it though and got myself back to Somerset House.

When I got there, there wasn't that much going on so I feel like I was a little too late. I got myself some street style, but they asked for my card, and sadly I hadn't had any made, so I only took the two street style shots, and got myself a shot of some Viktor & Rolf shoes which were beautiful.

This was a major learning curve for me, and I met so many people which really set up my confidence to go back and do it all over again. I met PR agents, a creative director, the owner of a blog which may get me some photography work when I finish at uni and a film maker. These are all such valuable contacts for my future, and am so grateful for the experience, even if I didn't do that much behind the scenes of the screening.

This was taken outside Somerset House, I loved what she was wearing and approached her for a photo. If I had my cards done I would definitely have gone into more detail about who she was etc. It was nice to just get out there and ask people if I could photograph them and people were so nice about it. It was something I was quite worried about before, but feel a lot more confident about it now.

The lady wearing these shoes did look amazing. She had bright pink hair and a blue blazer, but these shoes definitely stood out to me. As I was walking down the street away from Somerset House I noticed them and just had to get a picture of them. She was another who was so lovely about it. This is definitely something I love. The shoes are from Viktor & Rolf.

A very successful weekend in London which has also given me a lot more confidence and contacts to continue on with my photography project.

Nice long bus journey for me then back to Cardiff. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, and being alone wasn't too bad either. Heard from my other half who is in New York at the moment and was a nice time to hear from him as it was his birthday!
