Photography @ Crafts Alive

Thomas is a self taught landscape photographer based in Henry, Carmarthenshire. As a proud Welshman, his imagery is predominantly of Wales and his style is fuelled around working with varied and dramatic natural light.

In January, Thomas was crowned Best Landscape Photographer at the 2019 British Photography Awards in London. In addition, Thomas’ image of the “Gwynt y Ddraig” (Dragon’s ...Breath) taken on Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons was highly commended in the 2018 Outdoor Photography awards and published in the winners book.

I am very fortunate to live in beautiful West Wales, right at the point where Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion & Pembrokeshire meet. It really is a photographer's paradise. In fact, it's paradise full stop!

The pleasure I get from photographing the wonderful scenes and events close to where I live, as well as further afield, is immense, and something of which I never tire. It can be no surprise that this part of the world is almost littered with professional & semi professional photographers!

Richie works in a variety of media ranging from traditional watercolours to digital art. His work in Crafts Alive is mainly digital and based on the evocative scenes he finds in West-Wales.

Together Gary & Ric are the Welsh Craft Hub. They offer digital, technical and photographic services to local makers. They have built this site and have taken many of our product shots.
