Road to 2012 is a National Portrait Gallery project capturing the journey towards the Games and Emma Hardy was commissioned to photograph portraits of the men and women who have shaped London 2012 from Seb Coe to Sue Barker and the Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.

Sent out into the park to put into practice the tips and advice she gave here are some pics I took and a photo opportunity with Emma.

I learnt; always use the available light (no flash), the morning or evening light is most effective but not when the sun is at its highest, don't be in a hurry to take the shot, trust with your 'sitter' is everything, photograph where the sitter is most comfortable in familiar surroundings, composition is key, be honest with you sitter about how you will use the photo and what you want to portray.
I am looking forward to a private tour with the NPG Road to 2012 curator on Thursday to see the portraits from Emma and the other commissioned photographers in the gallery.
