Lou Noble (aka Lou O’ Bedlam) defines himself with this simple statement on his site: “I take pictures, save lives, surf, eat pumpkin-related products. No big whup.” But for us, he’s a big whup. We found it necessary to get to know him more, especially because we selected Lou to join the judge panel for our inaugural 20under20 celebration, highlighting 20 talented young photographers on Flickr.
As a Los Angeles-based photographer who has been on Flickr since 2005, he has taught photography workshops in the U.S. and U.K., and is currently Managing Editor for The Photographic Journal.
Lou’s expertise is pretty clear with a glance of his photostream: Gorgeous portraiture. Enjoy a few of our favorites, including snippets of his photo stories, on our blog.
