How to get there

N51° 30' 20.6604"W0° 01' 09.0336"
This image was taken inside the Adams Place Bridge in Canary Wharf. I stood in the middle of the bridge, equidistant from the entrance/exit on Canary Wharf and the entrance/exit from North Colonnade. I was facing south, but you can shoot from both sides for multiple lighting options. By London Underground: - Closest station: Canary Wharf (via Jubilee) - Head north toward S Colonnade - Turn left onto S Colonnade - Turn right toward N Colonnade - Head east toward N Colonnade - Turn right onto N Colonnade - Turn left onto Adams Pl Bridge

Night
Since Adams Place Bridge is an interior bridge, you can visit during any month.
For a moodier image with less people, I recommend visiting here at night.

Field tips

The featured image shows the light from above appearing to pass through the model. To achieve this effect, place a prism on the bottom of the lens so you can reflect light above and onto the model.
Keep a nice balance in the photo by centering your model to create a sense of symmetry.
Experiment with different poses and have your model stand closer or further away to find your own composition.
