IN CONVERSATION WITH rob hudson.
Brecon, SOUTH WALES, January 2015

yn sgwrsio gyda Rob Hudson.
Aberhonddu de Cymru, Ionawr 2015

Matt Botwood is a professional landscape photographer based in a remote part of the Brecon Beacons.

As someone who scouts and works daily in the landscape where he has based his family home, Matt can justifiably be referred to as a true 'Landscape Photographer's Photographer' and has been recognised by his peers as such in the 2014 Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards.

Ffoton asked photographer Rob Hudson to join us on our trip to Matt's home in early January 2015 and the resulting conversation between the two is fascinating listening for anyone interested in intensive project-based landscape and woodland photography.

Light, solitude and landscape are the amalgam that make Tim Collier tick as a photographer. His ability to see is second to none and his work on the landscape of Wales is stunning and extensive.

Nature has always played an important part in Tim's photography and bird photography has dominated his recent output. His understanding of birds is reflected in his sublime, remarkable and beautiful photographs.

Tim is a superb practitioner in many aspects of photography and Ffoton is proud to announce him as our 1st featured photographer.

Golau, unigedd a'r tirlun yw'r cyfuniad sydd wrth wraidd Tim Collier y ffotograffydd. Mae ei allu i weld yr hyn sydd o'i gwmpas yn ail i neb a'i ddelweddau helaeth o Gymru yn rhagorol.

Mae natur a'r cysylltiad ysbrydol a'r hyn sydd o'i gwmpas yn rhan annatod o waith Tim.

Yn ddiweddar mae tynnu lluniau adar wedi dwyn ei fryd. Mae ei ddealltwriaeth ohonynt yn wych ac yn cael ei fynegi trwy ei luniau rhyfeddol.

Heb os mae Tim Collier yn ffotograffydd o fri ac mae Ffoton yn hynod falch mae ef yw ein ffotograffydd gwadd cyntaf.
