My love of photography began when I bought my first camera aged seventeen. I spent many carefree days riding around Pembrokeshire on my motorbike with my 35mm Canon and an ordnance survey map, learning to take photographs while exploring the coast and countryside. Due to my habit of colliding with objects the motorbike is now history, but my passion for photography is as strong as ever.
The landscape of Pembrokeshire and Wales provides an idyllic playground for a black and white landscape photographer. In my work I seek to capture the country's many different faces; the windswept coast of mid-winter, a derelict farm cottage, the faded grandeur of a rural chapel or the rugged contours of a mountain pass. The story of Wales is told through its landscape and it is this narrative that I seek to capture in my work.
My favourite seasons for photography are late autumn, winter and early spring when the sun's arc is low in the sky, each composition enhanced by highlight and shadow. Those seasons are also blessed with 'proper' weather: rain coming at you side-on; wind that threatens to cut you in half; frosts that numb the extremities.
