Description
Over the course of a long career Sandra Lousada has worked as a theatre photographer, a portrait photographer and in the worlds of fashion, beauty and advertising, becoming internationally renowned in all those areas. In her sixties she became fascinated by the new medium of digital photography and the way it could enable her to capture light, movement and colour; and she found a new subject in London, the city she has lived in and loved all her life. Her inspired photographs open our eyes to London as we have never seen it before.
