Ricky don't lose that camera!


For the last 10 years, Ricky Leaver, one of Loop's newest contributors has been shooting London. And how! From rain-washed street tableaus to snatched grabs of Londoners on the Tube; sublime, graphical photographs of people on Hampstead Heath to shots of the metropolis, such as the one above, that display an accomplished technical mastery. All this from a guy who lives outside London in the neighbouring county of Essex!

Why London? In Ricky's words: 'because it is a uniquely inspirational city, timeless yet always evolving. You can never get bored photographing London.'

We, of course, would have to agree. For sheer quality, depth, breadth and quirk factor, Ricky has a body of work that defines London on many levels, providing a superb visual accompaniment to a city that stands shoulder to shoulder with many of the great world capitals.

Rick's work is available exclusively through the Loop network. To see a sample of his fantastic London imagery, try here, and for a more extensive selection, click here.
