Editorial Photographer Wales: Abi Reader for the Financial Times by John Wellings

Last week I picked up an assignment for the Financial Times to photograph dairy farmer Abi Reader on her farm just outside Cardiff.

I’ve shot a few times at various farms over the years and remembered to pack my boots this time!

Abi is the third generation of the same family on this farm, the passion for the care of her animals was evident in the short space of time I spent there.

Here is a small selection of images from the shoot. I’ll drop a link to the online article once I have it also.

PR Photographer Wales: Mi-Space with Dean Saunders by John Wellings

PR Photographer Wales

I recently attended a St Davids day breakfast meeting, hosted by Midas Group (Mi-Space) at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea. This year their guest speaker was Welsh football legend, Dean Saunders.

I’ve had the pleasure of hearing Dean speak at an event previously and enjoyed some of his stories, particularly the one about nearly signing for Brian Clough!

If you are looking for a PR photographer in Wales for your event please drop me a message or give me a call to see how I can help.

PR Photographer Wales: Spark Something Good / Marks and Spencer by John Wellings

Having worked with Marks and Spencer on their beach clean campaign last year I was excited to help out again this year photographing a number of their events and projects taking place in and around Swansea.

Over the few days I spent time with volunteers helping to make over the family room at the wonderful Ty Olwen at Morriston Hospital, the Swansea Community Farm project, a 50's themed luncheon and of course, the beach clean!

It was a fun and varied shoot over the few days and it was great to be able to capture the hard work of all the volunteers that helped make it a success. 

Here is a small selection of my favourites from the first day of shooting. If you are looking for professional PR photography in Wales then please drop me a line.

 

Recently published: Financial Times and Trading Standards Review by John Wellings

A couple of recent commissions have just been published which I can now share with you.

 I was asked by the FT to head up to Mid Wales to photograph William Watkins, the founder of Radnor Hills to go along with a recent interview for the Money FT section. The drive up was pretty awful with heavy rain that didn't let up for the whole day, scuppering my plans for a portrait out on the farm....

I was also really happy to shoot for the recently launched journal for trading standards, TS Review. Always nice to have images over a number of pages and I'm pretty happy with the ones chosen for the article.

Here are the tearsheets and also a few out takes from the shoots.



Great British Dog Walk - Rhossili Bay by John Wellings

I photographed the Rhossili leg of the Great British Dog Walk for the charity Hearing Dogs (http://www.hearingdogs.org.uk) last weekend, here are a few of my favourite images from the sunny morning.

I've got a few other shoots that I'm waiting to post about, I'm trying to not neglect this space, too much!

 

David Cameron by John Wellings

I was on assignment yesterday to photograph David Cameron delivering his speech at the Welsh Conservative Party conference.

I always try to shoot a little something for myself after I make the 'safe' shots so once I had delivered my images to the client and got back home I had a play with a few of the out takes.

Here are a few of those, have a great weekend!
