London Photo Stock - Coming soon!

JOAS SOUZA March 1, 2020

After so many years photographing not only architectural projects, but also every neighbourhood where those projects were located, I ended up with thousands of images of the streets of London in my photo library. A very diverse imagery which shows the life-style, the locals, the shops, streets, details that most of us pass by and don’t notice.

Well, this whole archive of images which for a long time was sitting on my hard drives, not seeng by almost anybody, will be soon available to be licensed and used by who ever need them. For now, a little fraction of these immense collection of images can be seen here in my website on the Photo Stock menu. Soon, a dedicated website, the London Stock Photos (www.londonstockphotos.co.uk) will be online, working as a live image stock of London images (probably the biggest one on-line), with weekly updates of new images . Loop Images (www.loopimages.com) will be also hosting the vast majority of my images, helping to spread their availability across different associated image stock libraries across the world. I just can’t wait to show all of them!

My New Venture - London newest Fine Art Printing Studio - the Image Print Centre

JOAS SOUZA January 19, 2020

I've been always struggle to find a decent printing studio to print my images, although I always faced only two options in London, the famous printing companies in central London, that charges a fortune for a small print and are not owned or directed by a photographer, or, the cheap online ones, where everything is printed in an industrial scale, where no time is spent adjusting the images before printing, everything is printed as they receive. So, I decided to open my own printing studio, the Image Print Centre - https://www.imageprintcentre.co.uk - dedicated to professional photographer and digital artists, offering outstanding quality, affordable prices and with the approach to work one on one with every client, so, a truly bespoke service. It has been absolutely great since I opened, the studio already received the visit of many pro photographer who had the same struggle that I used to have, London finally has a premium fine art printing studio totally dedicated to photographer, delivering high standard prints without ask an arm and a leg.

You are all welcome to come around and try out prints! Get in touch.

INSPIRATION FOR MY NEXT PERSONAL PROJECT - ART DECO

JOAS SOUZA February 7, 2019

I was looking for some particular architectural style to photograph, some inspiration for my next personal project. Well, I just found it. Whilst visiting Miami for the first time, I discovered the incredible Art Deco Historic District in South Beach, the whole neighbourhood is just about Art Deco, I have to admit, it is stunning! So, I quickly ran and grabbed my camera, no tripod, just hand held and crazily captured as much as could along Ocean Drive, I had to be quick as my wife and daughter were waiting for me by the beach. That was enough to spark the idea for my next personal project: to capture the most interesting Art Deco buildings back home, in UK, specially in London, where we probably have plenty. Now, time to do some home work, researches, to deeply study about Art Deco before the summer arrives. It will be fun!
