So, I spent ages trying to decide on how to start this blog post, wanting it to be perfect. Then I realised that I just needed to start, so here goes. I’m a photographer, and oh, my name is Gwen should probably mention that. I am from South Wales - the UK one not the Australian one. The one with the dragon.
I started taking an interest in photography in high school when I took it as one of my A-level options. I know it's not that exciting of a backstory. I do however come from a very creative family, who have, or had, a range of creative hobbies from woodworking to dressmaking to drawing/painting and many others.
My photography usually involves my other interests such as knitting, craft making, textiles, scrapbooking and nature. I've loved texture and textiles ever since I was a child. When I went clothes shopping, my focus wouldn't be on the clothes colours or the clothes at all really, just the materials. Only then would I notice it was pink and run away in horror! While I have grown out of my dislike of pink, I never grew out of caring about the materials used. I have to like the material of the item otherwise I will not go near it.
My hope for this blog is to share behind the scenes content and stories involving my photography, including scenes from my shoots as well as my other art-based work.
I hope that you find my journey interesting and that I can meet many a fellow artist along the way.
So, let’s fly you fools! (Gandalf)
Ps. Come to expect random quotes from movies and books.
