Steve Benbow trained in photography under David Hurn on the original Newport Documentary Photography course in the mid-1970s, after which he was a founding member of the Ffotogallery in Cardiff, a founder of the respected London-based ‘Network’ Agency of photojournalists; and an international professional photojournalist for over twenty years working with photo agencies in London, Paris and New York.

Along with his wife Kate – a photo editor at The Times and US News and World Report – he returned to Wales and started the Photolibrary Wales for Wales-specific stock stills images; and then Video Wales for video production. Steve is now retired from photography but was one of the top names on Ffoton’s hit list of photographers to interview when planning for the website and podcast started in mid-2014 . Mission accomplished.

The audio below is the final segment of three parts, and explores Steve’s return to Wales and forming the Photolibrary Wales - a stills stock agency specialising in providing images of Wales to commercial clients, his views on copyright, forming Video Wales in offering moving images and, finally, retirement from photography.

Ron McCormick : Part 3

Ron McCormick in conversation with Paul Reas
Cardiff, June 2019

Ron McCormick yn sgwrsio gydag Paul Reas
Caerdydd, Mehefin 2019

Ron McCormick trained as an artist at Liverpool School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools in London before moving across to photography. He played a significant role in the formation and development of photography galleries across the UK in the 1970’s - including Half Moon Gallery in London, Side Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne and the original Ffotogallery in Cardiff.

Ron taught on the Newport Documentary Photography course alongside David Hurn and established ‘The Newport Survey’ publication that students worked on as part of their studies over a decade in the 1980’s . He was one of the first photographers to be commissioned by Ffotogallery to produce work for the highly regarded ‘Valleys Project’ in the 1980’s and his documentary work of the changing landscape and communities in the south Wales valleys as coal mining disappeared in the region is considered to be some of the best produced.

His work is held in the Arts Council Collection and in private collections. He has lived and worked in Newport since 1977 and continues to be an active member of the Newport art and photography scene. A major exhibition of his south Wales work 'How Green was my Valley' will open at Newport Museum & Art Gallery on 21 September and run through to 14 March 2020.

Recorded at the University of South Wales Atrium campus in Cardiff by Brian Carroll. Our thanks to Paul Reas for organising.

“I am a Documentarist.
I have spent a lifetime recording British society, challenging the status quo by working in a collaborative way to capture extraordinary aspects of ordinary life, principally through photography but also with audio recordings and short movies.”
— Daniel Meadows

Studying photography alongside Martin Parr at Manchester Polytechnic in the early 1970's, Daniel Meadows has remained passionate about social documentary photography, education and storytelling ever since. His photography archive, held in the Library of Birmingham, is an important record of British society through the 1970's and 80's - and his influence can be seen in contemporary photography in the UK and further afield.

Kick back and listen to our full conversation with Daniel below.

Ffoton also captured a video segment with Daniel where he describes the influential work he did on Digital Storytelling whilst working with the BBC and Cardiff School of Journalism. Watch this special video below...

“Rwy’n berson dogfen.
Rwy ‘di treulio fy mywyd yn cofnodi’r gymdeithas Brydeinig, herio’r ‘status quo’ ac yn gweithio ar bob agwedd o fywyd cyffredin yn bennaf trwy ffotograffiaeth ond hefyd trwy sain a ffilmiau byr.”
— Daniel Meadows

Fe astudiodd Daniel Meadows law yn llaw a Martin Parr ym mholytechnig Manceinion yn y '70 cynnar. Mae e wedi dal yn ddryw yw waith fel ffotograffydd dogfennol cymdeithasol, addysg a'i gariad o adrodd stori

Cedwi'r ei archif personol yn llyfrgell Birmingham ac mae'n record bwysig o fywyd cymdeithasol Prydain yn y '70au a'r '80au.
