Begin with the landscape
Richmond Park offers a setting where open space, trees and changing light can shape the photograph. Look for the relationship between a person and the wider scene instead of filling every frame with a close portrait. Leave a little space for the surroundings to speak.
Make a considerate plan
Follow the park’s current visitor guidance and signs, give wildlife space and keep the route manageable. Check access and any photography arrangements directly with The Royal Parks before organising a session. A public setting is shared with many people using it in different ways.
Notice rather than collect
Choose one area and spend some time watching it. A change of viewpoint, a passing cloud or a quieter background can be more useful than rushing between locations. A small set of considered images can describe a visit without trying to include everything.
