らんラン東海 Kochi Yosakoi 2025

Our visit to Kochi coincided with the annual Yosakoi festival. In the evening I stumbled upon the performers village where I made friends with the Ranran Tokai team. What a privilege to photograph their performance at Kochi Castle that night. Here are some of the photos

An image from the Welsh coast from five years ago when the comet Neowise was visible in the night sky. The raw file has been sitting untouched in my archive all this time 🙃

At that time I enjoyed travel photography but didn't have much direction or look to my work.

This photo represents the eureka moment - capturing one of the world's great cityscapes in a striking and impactful way, with edit to match. It's still in my portfolio all these years later

I recently joined Mark on the Camversation podcast to talk about 5 images that shaped my career so far, how I captured them, and what significance they have to me.

First up was this image from Marina Bay, Singapore.

At dawn this morning on the south Pembrokeshire coast, watching lightning strike Devon and Cornwall over 60km away.

A magical moment at Church Doors Cove in Pembrokeshire last night around 4am as I was photobombed by a huge green meteor.

A race against time last night to photograph the full moon behind Paxton's Tower. Captured over a mile away in the village of Llanarthne with my new Sigma 150-600mm sport lens.

2025 has started with a bang as the #NorthernLights made an appearance here in Wales.

Friday night's incredible, once in a generation display of the northern lights above Cwm Yr Eglwys in Pembrokeshire.

To witness this was absolutely mindblowing.

Sunrise at Paxton's Tower, Carmarthenshire

If you get your timing and angles right, it's possible to photograph the sun rising right behind Paxton's Tower from the village of Llanddarog several miles away.

📅 2023 - a year in photographs

Ending the year as most photographers like to do with a bit of a retrospective about what I've been up to this year. An eclectic mix of portraits, travel & astro photography, apparently!

Thanks for your support in 2023, and hope you continue to enjoy my work in 2024

Some of my work has been licensed in print & online by Visit Luxembourg to promote tourism in Luxembourg City in 2024

Last year we enjoyed a long weekend there - a photogenic city worth considering for your next European break

"Remember remember the 5th of November"

On Bonfire Night, Mother Nature provided her own fireworks in the form of another spectacular display of the northern lights!

To the naked eye, a faint glow could be seen for several hours. Here's what my camera saw at Dryslwyn Castle in Carmarthenshire.
