Buildings
Buildings set within the landscape particularly catch my eye, and I love using light, shadows, and the surrounding environment to showcase their character. While the British weather doesn't always cooperate, when the conditions are right, there's nothing better than capturing a building at its very best. From historic churches across the UK and castles throughout Wales to contemporary offices, commercial spaces, landmarks and modern architecture, I enjoy photographing buildings of every style.
Charities
As part of my company’s social responsibility, I support our local community by providing photography for charities. My professional photography and content creation services help our local charities communicate their important messages to raise awareness and funds. I provide charity photographs for a wide range of charities including but not limited to <a href="https://www.tyhafan.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tŷ Hafan</a>, <a href="https://www.cancerresearchwales.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cancer Research Wales</a> and <a href="https://mindstepfoundation.com">Mindstep Foundation.</a> Related blog: <a href="https://paulfearsphoto.co.uk/blog/2019/05/23/national-walking-month/">5 Mountains in 55 Hours Story for National Walking Month</a>

Faces
Having professionally taken business headshots is really important in today’s digital world. The headshot is used on social media (especially LinkedIn), on websites, as an accompaniment to company press releases, and even on business cards. On every business headshot photoshoot, I provide guidance on how an individual should stand, their expression, and suitable clothing. My objective is to create a business portrait that is professional and engaging, but also captures an individual’s character. I take business headshots for professionals at their place of work, on location, or in our studio. Our portable studio means that we can photograph the headshots of an entire team on location, keeping lost time to a minimum.

Product
Product photography is so varied. One moment I am photographing an Aston Martin V8 Zagato Volante at the Goodwood Festival of Speed for <a href="https://www.caigauge.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caerbont Automotive Instruments</a> and the next it is a collection of waste batteries for <a href="https://www.mastermagnets.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bunting</a>. Many of my product photography assignments are on site, where I can use my experience of working in engineering. Having spent over twenty-years working on sites across the world, I thoroughly enjoy being clad in safety boots, high-viz, and safety glasses whilst taking some great photographs of equipment in action.

Scenic
There’s something special about exploring new places, discovering beautiful landscapes, and experiencing the world through travel. While it's often difficult to put the camera down and simply take in the view, I can never resist capturing those moments, especially from above! Landscape photography allows me to relive the places I've visited, the incredible sunsets I've witnessed, and the memories made along the way. From dramatic coastlines to peaceful countryside and unforgettable adventures abroad, every image tells the story of a place that inspired me.
Sports
I love sports photography. It could be taking photographs of a sports event such as the Golden Oldies Rugby or photographing a hospitality event with a sports celebrity. Photographing, meeting and listening to my sporting heroes is very special including celebrated sporting legends such as <a href="https://paulfearsphoto.co.uk/blog/portfolio/the-events-room-joe-calzaghe/">Joe Calzaghe</a> (Boxing), <a href="https://paulfearsphoto.co.uk/blog/portfolio/jonathan-davies-welsh-charitables/">Jonathan Davies</a> (Rugby) and Paul Merson (Football). For sports photography, I work with some great sporting hospitality event organisers including <a href="https://www.theeventsroom.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Events Room</a>, <a href="http://www.hospitalityandleisure.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Legends Hospitality</a> and the <a href="https://www.welshcharitablesrfc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Welsh Charitables RFC</a>.

Weddings
To be a Wedding Photographer, you have got to love photographing weddings. It is so very special. And it may sound strange, but being asked to be a couple’s wedding photographer is a real honour. As <a href="https://www.doubletakephoto.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Double Take Photography</a>, Jo Davies and I photograph weddings together in South Wales and South West England. As a male-female wedding photography team, we aim to take those photographs that tell the story of your wedding day. Our photographs are fun, emotional and a lasting memory of a wonderful day. Apart from the necessary formal photographs, we focus on capturing candid photos and engage with the whole wedding party to get relaxed group and couple photos. A more extensive selection of wedding photographs are on our <a href="https://www.doubletakephoto.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Double Take Photography</a> website.
