“I was a smartphone photographer for many years before buying my first real camera in 2019. These days I mostly use my mirrorless camera, but on this day I was stuck in London for a few hours with only my iPhone 13 Pro smartphone, and decided to challenge myself to get some artistic shots of the City.

This view of St Paul’s has been shot so many times, so I wanted to try and do something a bit different and more creative. I’ve recently been teaching myself how to use Photoshop and learning more about multiple exposure photography, and I’ve been inspired by Pep Ventosa’s images and wanted to try something similar.

I used the Spectre slow shutter app to take the photo, which worked well as it was a windy day. I then edited it in Photoshop to achieve the final look.”
