Three Iconic London locations and a Hasselblad X2D | POV Photo Walk

Join me for a calm but captivating early-morning photo walk through central London — starting at Oxford Circus, strolling down the iconic curves of Regent Street, and finishing at the vibrant lights of Piccadilly Circus.

Armed with the Hasselblad X2D and the compact XCD 28P lens, I capture the city as it wakes up: commuters rushing to work, buses gliding past, footsteps echoing, and the soft hum of London coming to life. All photos contain the camera settings used.

The streets are beautifully decorated for Christmas, with glowing lights and festive storefronts adding magic to the morning. You’ll see me take some of my favourite shots in real time—framing, shooting, and reacting—as the camera brings out London’s textures, details, and atmosphere.
This video is perfect to have playing in the background: relaxing city ambience, minimal talking, and a relatable everyday mood. Many viewers find the natural city noise and gentle pacing helpful for focus, grounding, and de-regulation, especially for those with neurodiversity.

🎥 What to expect:
• A peaceful morning walk through iconic London streets
• Real-time photography with the Hasselblad X2D + XCD 28P
• Natural sounds of the city
• Christmas decorations and early commuter energy
• A cozy, immersive, slow-living vibe
