A year or two down the line after exploring and experiencing new things my passion for photography returned along with the determination that I will become a professional photographer, but I still had not finalised what genre I would like to pursue. Later on whilst considering all possibilities and avenues to head down, it all naturally fell into place that I have my qualification in landscape architecture and interests in architecture and design. Therefore up to this date I have been pursuing the genre of architectural and interior photography, but also experimenting to see if I can diversify my skills to incorporate the knowledge and interest I already have with landscape architecture. The work that I am interested in creating at this moment in time is photographing hotels around North Wales, the main two being Ruthin Castle and Chateau Rhianfa which I’ve been photographing at dusk to create amazing blues and purples in the sky, but also using external flashes to incorporate more colour and detail in the foregrounds. I am also gaining knowledge and experience in interior photography so that I can create bodies of work which include the interiors and exteriors of buildings of interest. I am really interested in the 50’s and 60’s style of art, architecture and design therefore I am beginning to create images of locations and subjects in this style.
