My name is Dilys Hackett and I am the photographer behind Dilys Photography. I have lived in Pembrokeshire for 50 years and have spent many of them exploring the coastline with my camera. Originally from Milford Haven, I moved to Saundersfoot when I opened my Gallery in 2014. Since as far back as I can remember, I have always had a passion for art.
I spent many hours as a child making pencil drawings and painting anything that took my interest. I found a sense of calm and fulfilment being able to express myself in a picture. I started taking photos as an aid to my art but the more I experimented with photography, I realised I had found a new passion. Each photograph I take has a personal meaning for me.
I aim to capture a feeling rather than just an image which is why my photos are colourful and optimistic, reflecting my enthusiasm and positive feelings towards the area. I enjoy sharing my photos. I want other people to see the beauty in our surroundings as I see it. After spending many years selling my photography through various outlets in Pembrokeshire and many summer's selling my pictures from a 'pop up' street gallery in Tenby, I was able to establish a name for myself as a landscape photographer.

Services
The gallery has enabled me to grow my photography business and expand into showcasing other artwork by locally based artists.
I wanted the gallery to reflect not only my work but my personality so you will always have a friendly welcome and a comfy sofa to relax as you take your time looking at all the artwork on display.
I like to play music in the gallery to give a more informal feel and there is always a treat on the counter for my well behaved dog visitors!
You will find my very friendly, partially blind, 13 year old Cocker Spaniel, Harvey (full title: Harvey Hound - Photographer's Assistant) behind the counter, eager to make friends with everyone who comes in, either human or K9.
