Rocky Shore at Sunrise - I’m an award-winning professional landscape photographer - best known for my images of Snowdonia (Eryri) - but my work takes me to many parts of the UK, creating atmospheric imagery for my clients. As an experienced photography tutor, I enjoy helping others to improve their work with my extensive range of landscape photography workshops both in natural light and infrared light.

ABOUT ME

About my photography - I offer a variety of landscape photography workshops in locations in Snowdonia (Eryri), Wales. Whether you choose a 1-2-1 or a small group workshop, my workshops all have carefully planned itineraries, beautiful locations, and a friendly, patient teaching style so you can be sure of the very best locations, and an enjoyable day of photography.

My Camera Equipment

My Photo Gear - WHY LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY? The joy of landscape photograph for me is the being there. Being a part of nature and witnessing its wonders. Those wonderfully unpredictable conditions and fleeting moments of light that make the heart beat a little faster. The thrill of watching the first light of the day creep over the frozen stillness of a wintry landscape, while the air and my fingers tingle with the cold, and the challenge of capturing the atmosphere of moments like this is what it is all about.

It is said ‘it’s not about the gear but the photographer behind it’. Although this might be true there’s no secret that photographer relies on having the best possible equipment. In reality, some techniques are not possible without specific equipment. At least not if you want to maintain the high quality to your images.

Welcome to Welsh Property Services, Trading as J & J Property Services (Wales) Ltd

To introduce ourselves and Welsh Property Services:

Jo and Jules have worked together at Welsh Properties for several years and have owned the business since March 2016. We both have lived and worked in the local area since 1989. Jules has run three successful businesses locally and Jo has worked at Welsh Properties for several years. We believe we are a winning combination, working well together as a team with complementary skills and experience.

The request received was to provide images of the new renovation of a listed property which had been refurbished to become a holiday let.

The image is a composite of a number of images, the mountains and back row are part of the original image. However, I had to add the six team members who couldn't make it on the night from individual images taken in various locations and lighting conditions over a two-week period (can you guess who they are?). The images were then brought together to make this final image.
