Whether you\u2019re a local or you travel there, you\u2019ll probably never run out of things to point your lens towards in the capital.<\/p>\n<p>However, knowing that there\u2019s enough potential material out there to fill 1,000 photobooks can make the decision of exactly where to head quite overwhelming. Especially so if you\u2019re keenly aware that you only have a limited time in any given location.<\/p>\n<p>The latest in fotoVue\u2019s incredibly helpful set of books, <em>Photographing London Volume 1<\/em> concentrates on central London. Inside you\u2019ll find more than 400 locations and tips on where and how to take the best photographs.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_136467&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 650px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136467\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Photographing-London-Vol-1-Wheel-at-Sunrise.jpg\" alt=\"Photographing London Vol 1 Wheel at Sunrise\" width=\"630\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Photographing-London-Vol-1-Wheel-at-Sunrise.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Photographing-London-Vol-1-Wheel-at-Sunrise.jpg?resize=300,240 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Photographing-London-Vol-1-Wheel-at-Sunrise.jpg?resize=500,400 500w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Photographing-London-Vol-1-Wheel-at-Sunrise.jpg?resize=562,450 562w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Photographing-London-Vol-1-Wheel-at-Sunrise.jpg?resize=180,145 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">&#8216;Wheel at sunrise&#8217;.

Even as someone who has visited London hundreds of times over the years to take pictures, this book offers up lots of ideas for places to try in the coming months and years.<\/p>\n<p>The author George Johnson was born in the city and has an impressive photographic heritage \u2013 his great-great-great grandfather was a professional landscape and portrait photographer in the late 19th century; perhaps we even featured him in AP. George himself has appeared in several illustrious publications including <em>Digital Camera<\/em>, <em>Black+White Photography<\/em>, <em>National Geographic Traveller<\/em> and, of course, <em>Amateur Photographer<\/em>.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_136464&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 470px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136464\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Photographing-London-Vol-1-Ben-and-Boudica.jpg\" alt=\"Photographing London Vol 1 Ben and Boudica\" width=\"450\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Photographing-London-Vol-1-Ben-and-Boudica.jpg 450w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Photographing-London-Vol-1-Ben-and-Boudica.jpg?resize=300,420 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/04\/Photographing-London-Vol-1-Ben-and-Boudica.jpg?resize=286,400 286w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">&#8216;Ben and Boudica&#8217;.

A second volume of the London series is also due soon, too.<\/p>\n<p>For me, and anybody else who is more of a city bod than a country bumpkin, it\u2019s this volume that will probably come in most handy \u2013 myriad locations and details just waiting to be discovered. I highly recommend this book for those struggling for inspiration.
