Commission by Visit Wales Caving Winter 2010.

Sneak preview of our visit yesterday to the Porth Yr Ogof Cave system (translated as the gateway to the cave) boasting the largest entrance of any cave in Wales at over 17 metres wide and almost 5m tall. The cave is accessed via Cwm Porth Information Centre staffed by a Brecon Beacons National Park Warden. The cave has 15 different entrances from where we photographed some stunning underground features.

The Caves lead to over a mile of accessible underground passageways which makes this very popular with outdoor groups to introduce people to caving. In normal weather conditions a dry rocky river bed leads up to the main entrance to the cave, but following rain this may quickly become a raging torrent as the Afon Mellte (the Lightning River) lives up to its name and quickly makes the cave inaccessible, care must be taken in wet weather. Another sinister danger in this cave is the resurgence pool, where the water leaving the cave is forced through a narrow passage, in doing so it has scoured out a 7m deep pool with underwater ledges, this coupled with the strong undercurrents created by the flow of the water has made this the most dangerous location in any British cave.
Big thanks go to Gary Evans consultant and Instructor at www.hawkadventures.co.uk and www.hawkassociates.co.uk for organising the production and looking after our wellbeing at all times.

Commission by Rue Magazine Holidays 2010

Happy holidays folks... About three weeks ago I was invited by the talented stylist and writer Will Taylor of Bright Bazzar @brightbazaar to shoot for the International Rue Magazine @ruemag.com in beautiful sunny Gloucestershire at a fabulous house.

You can be the judge. But I think the results are nothing short of spectacular... As you can imagine it was a long day of decorating, styling and shooting but we managed to fit it all in daylight hours.

We had one day to capture three different Christmas looks in the same room. The themes were Folksy, Technicolour and Noir Glamour. Will styled it beautifully and was really keen to show how holiday decorating can reflect your personality and style preferences, no matter what the existing space is like.

Funny thing I've gone all christmassy!!
How our earth am I going to hold back until December to put up those decorations??

Visit Wales Autumn Campaign 2010


Commission by Visit Wales Tourist Board. October 2010

We visited the not so well known Cambrian mountains(Mid Wales) and climbed Plynlimon Mountain (Pumlumon) to a height of 752 metres. The ascent was shrouded in mist. But suddenly at 600 metres we left it behind and ascending into the most incredible sunshine. Not even a breath of wind. The views above the cloud base were fantastic.

We were one of only three parties to reach the summit all day. If you have hiked Snowdonia and Pen y fan you really should visit this place.
