Turning Chinatown’s chaos into cinematic urban portraiture

This month’s Urban Portrait Pod takes us into the vibrant streets of Chinatown, with a possible extension into Covent Garden if time allows.

The aim of this session is to move beyond tourist photography and explore how the energy of the city can become a compelling backdrop for lifestyle portraiture. We will focus on working with available light in busy urban environments, using the textures, colours, and movement of the city to shape our images.

Participants are welcome to bring flash or additional lighting if they wish to experiment, but this is not required.

If we are able to source TFP models, then one will join us for the session. If not, we will work collaboratively and photograph one another, so please come prepared to step in front of the camera as well as behind it.

When: Saturday, 18 April 2026
Meeting point: Outside Costa Coffee, Leicester Square Odeon
Time: 10:30 am till 12:30 or 13:00.
