Amanda Jackson in conversation with Ellie Hopkins
Colwyn Bay, October 2019

Amanda Jackson yn sgwrsio gydag Ellie Hopkins
Colwyn Bay, Hydref 2019

Canadian by birth but resident in the UK since 2001, Amanda Jackson is a commercial portrait and lifestyle photographer based just over the Welsh border in Malvern.

After studying photography in Hereford she has continued to build a portfolio of work for numerous clients whilst also developing her own personal projects. Her lifestyle work has been featured in various publications including The Observer, The Guardian, The Independent; Marie Claire, In Clover Magazine and Photoworks Annual.

Her ongoing personal project ‘To Build A Home’ which documents the people and setting of the Lammas Eco Village in Pembrokeshire gained her Arts Council funding in 2013 and making the photographs inspired her to purchase a small plot of land nearby - providing a lure and impetus to revisit the site with her camera. Work from the series has been exhibited in Aberystwyth, The Northern EYE Festival and Ffotogallery and several prints are held in the archive at The National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth.

Ffoton managed to pin Amanda down at the 2019 Northern EYE Festival in Colwyn Bay to record a conversation with fellow photographer Ellie Hopkins. Our thanks to both.

— David Wilson

Mike Jackson : Part 2

Mike Jackson IN CONVERSATION WITH EMYR YOUNG.
PEMBROKESHIRE, DECEMBER 2015

Mike Jackson YN SGWRSIO GYDAG EMYR YOUNG
SIR BENFRO, RHAGFYR 2015

Michael Jackson is a Visual Artist and talented analogue photographer based in Pembrokeshire in West Wales. Perhaps best known for his beach studies on Poppit Sands, he also enjoys experimenting with light and atmosphere on analogue film away from the landscape genre - including directly onto photographic paper in the darkroom through his continuing series of Luminograms.

Mike's work is popular amongst collectors and he has exhibited both here in Wales and Internationally. In this second and final part of our conversation with Mike we cover training in photography and dealing with Galleries to have work exhibited.

Listen to Part 1 of our conversation with Mike here >

Y mae Michael Jackson yn artist gweledol ac yn ffotograffydd analog sy'n byw yn Sir Benfro yng Ngorllewin Cymru. Mae e'n adnabyddus am ei gywaith o draeth Poppit. Y mae'n mwynhau arbrofi trwy ddefnyddio golau a ffilm ac yn ddiweddar bu'n creu Luminograms ar bapur ffotograffig yn yr ystafell dywyll.

Y mae gwaith Mike yn boblogaidd ymysg casglwyr ac mae e wedi arddangos ei waith yng Nghymru ac yn rhyngwladol.

This is the second and final part of our conversation with Chris. You can still listen to part one.

"I'm a black and white photographer", says Chris Tancock. Based near the beautiful small City of St Davids in Pembrokeshire, Chris currently works within a five mile radius of his small family cottage which also hosts a gallery with a selection of his work. Popular with collectors and respected by Landscape photographers, the scenes he captures are near-timeless and far more nuanced with the inclusion of workers of the land and details of flora and fauna.

Chris earns his living from his photography: limited edition prints and hand-crafted collectors Folios of his work are available via his website. His intense passion and commitment to his projects is evident from this Ffoton Wales recorded conversation - so much so that we lost track of time and immersed ourselves in a fascinating discussion requiring two parts! We challenge anyone listening to both parts to not reflect on their own approach to their photography projects and series' of images.

You can listen to Part 1 of our conversation with Chris here >

We can also recommend an earlier interview with Chris from 2011 by Rob Hudson on the On Landscape website.
