Photography commissions and corporate photography projects
All my photographs are available for publication, image licensing and other commercial usage. Rather than list set prices for these services I prefer to deal with each clients requirements on an individual basis so please do get in touch.
Over the years I've also worked on commissions and corporate photography projects with both small, local tourism businesses and large corporate clients including:
Natural Resources Wales (North East Wales National Park Designation Project). This was a large scale 9 month project in 2023, working with the Natural Resources Wales project team, photographing the varied landscapes across North East Wales for consideration of inclusion in the potential new national park.
Natural Resources Wales (LifeDeeRiver Project). This was a large scale 12 month project in 2021/22, working with the LifeDeeRiver project team, to photograph almost the entire length of the River Dee from Chester to its source in the mountains above Bala.
Penderyn Distillery (Llandudno Visitors Centre). I provided numerous landscape photography images of the Conwy & Llandudno areas which form part of the display within the visitors centre.
The Ramblers Association. A photography commission to photograph Conwy Mountain for one of their walking publications.
