Stepping into something new...

These images are from my first dedicated automotive shoot, featuring Tom Cave's Porsche 992 GT3.

It was a fantastic experience and a great reminder that every new genre comes with plenty to learn. From shooting to editing, I picked up a lot of lessons, and I already have several ideas I'd like to try on future projects—particularly in Photoshop.

A big thank you to Tom for trusting me with such an incredible car. I'm looking forward to photographing more performance and sports cars in the future.

Trying something a little different this week...

A huge thank you to for trusting me with my first automotive photography shoot. His Porsche 992 GT3 is an incredible car, and this quirky location made it even more enjoyable to photograph.

Here's a little teaser, with plenty more images coming next week. I hope I've done the GT3 justice!

Colour Above the Coast – Aberdyfi Kite Flying Festival 2026
A few favourites from this year's Aberdyfi Kite Flying Festival, held over the weekend of 27–28 June.

It's always a great event to photograph. The combination of colourful kites, changing light and the backdrop of Cardigan Bay means there's always something different to see. I particularly enjoyed looking for unusual angles and moments that captured the scale and fun of the weekend.

Thanks to everyone who helped make it another fantastic festival.

The Eliminator | Aberdyfi | 21 June 2026

A fantastic day photographing The Eliminator in Aberdyfi, organised by WeSwimRun.

With sunshine, calm conditions, and plenty of determination, athletes tackled the challenging SwimRun course, moving seamlessly between open-water swimming and running along Aberdyfi's stunning waterfront.

It was a pleasure to capture the action, the effort and the great atmosphere that makes these events so special.

Thanks to everyone who took part and helped make it another brilliant day.

Some subjects reveal themselves immediately. Others take years.

I passed this water outlet at Penhelig Harbour, Aberdyfi, on countless morning runs before I saw the photograph within it. Familiar places often become invisible through repetition, and I find these everyday subjects the hardest to compose.

A simple piece of harbour infrastructure, but in black and white, it became something altogether different.

A recent visit to Dolgoch Falls reminded me why some locations never lose their appeal, no matter how many times you return.

Tucked away in the wooded valley above Tywyn, the falls are a combination of movement, texture and atmosphere. What I enjoy most is how the landscape changes with the seasons and the light. In one frame, the waterfall becomes the focal point within the surrounding woodland; in another, the ferns, pathways and stonework help tell more of the story of the place.

Rather than chasing dramatic conditions, these images were made during quieter moments, focusing on the character of the landscape and the details that make Dolgoch such a special corner of Mid Wales.

What draws you back to the same location time and time again?

Liverpool's docklands are a fascinating blend of old and new.

This long-exposure black and white photograph from No 12 Building at Princes Dock captures an area that continues to evolve, with modern developments breathing new life into the historic waterfront while maintaining a connection to its maritime past.

One of the things I enjoy most about photographing places like this is seeing how regeneration can add a new chapter to an already rich story.

I recently spent some time photographing Aberdyfi Butchers, a business that has been part of village life since 1861.
As Martin Fowles is my cousin, I was fortunate enough to spend time behind the scenes, capturing not only the work that goes into running a traditional butcher's shop but also the people who keep it going day after day.
Martin's family connection to the business stretches back to the early 1900s, when our great-great-grandfather first came to Aberdyfi as a young boy to work for the previous owner. More than a century later, that family association continues.
As a photographer, I enjoy documenting the places and people that help define a community, and this story felt especially close to home.

Portmeirion photographed on one of the coldest days of the year, with snow lying across the mountains beyond the Dwyryd Estuary and soft winter light falling across the village.

As much as I enjoy photographing scenes like this, I’ll happily admit that I much prefer the long evenings and warmer days of summer to standing out in freezing conditions waiting for the light.
