The British Isles is blessed with an eventful past that continues to fascinate.
From castles to towers and manors to mansions, there’s no shortage of historic buildings to visit and photograph. And when it comes to editing, you could also aim to apply some history to your images.

Times were also much harder, with poverty rampant and the divide between rich and poor even greater than today. You can evoke this feeling by creating a gritty look to your photo.
