Exploring Kenwood House: Lowlight Photography

Yesterday I joined a group of photographers for a tour of the newly refurbished Kenwood House.

Nestled at the top of Hampstead Heath, Kenwood House is best known for the artwork housed in it, including Rembrandt’s self-portrait. It was great to have some time to look around the house and practise some lowlight techniques, to bring some of the details of the house alive.

Special thanks must go to Jude for organising the tour and sharing her knowledge of Kenwood’s history.

Here is a small section of the images I took.
