"The 168"
Electric London: Neon dreams in motion

           Sarah Louise Ramsay is an award-winning Photographer and Image Maker.    Sarah started her career in the 90's assisting in studios and on location.  The award-winning personal projects she created back then were the catalysts for her first advertising commissions, and since those days her work as a photographer has taken her all over the world.  She has spent years precariously leaning out of cars whilst shooting other vehicles, climbed dunes in Australia for British Airways and had a camera smashed out of her hand by a rearing horse at the San Juan Festival in Minorca.  She sometimes describes her work as a never-ending series of adventures including fending off the advances of a renegade cowboy, hanging out of a helicopter, shooting salmon lochs for Waitrose, sleeping in a swag bag in Australia’s Snowy mountains whilst photographing Brumbies and simultaneously raising her three amazing daughters.  Over the years she has continued to win numerous awards. In 2021 she was exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and in 2022 at the Venice International Art Fair. She is currently a finalist in 2023 38th AOP Photography awards with her series ‘The Last Few.’  Personal work means everything to Sarah. ‘When I get out there and shoot with only a lightweight portable studio in a backpack, well then I am in my happy place.’  She thrives when she is able to push boundaries and expectations and her recent return to Cuba was both an adventure and a way to honour a strong connection to water, something she has been exploring for the last few years.  Â
