The Hinterland book with photography by David Wilson and Warren Orchard. Published by Graffeg in Wales

“Because of my own personal experiences I do get drawn towards images which perhaps have a darker heart to them.”
— David Wilson

David Wilson is a self-taught landscape photographer based in Pembrokeshire who moved to photography full-time in 2008 after a lifetime love of photography and a desire to leave his day job as a civil servant.

David has worked commercially in recent years with Fine Art print sales and his landscape work being published in a number of books in collaboration with Welsh publisher Graffeg - including the more recent 'Hinterland' with input from the producers of the successful S4C TV crime drama.

“Oherwydd digwyddiadau personol rwy’n cael fy nhynnu tuag at luniau sydd hwyrach a chalon du yn perthyn iddyn nhw.”
— David Wilson

Y mae David Wilson yn ffotograffydd tirlun a ddysgodd y grefft ar ei liwt ei hun ac mae'n byw yn Sir Benfro. Cychwynnodd ar ei yrfa ffotograffig yn 2008 ar ôl gadael ei waith fel gwas sifil er roedd ganddo gariad tuag at ffotograffiaeth ar hyd ei oes.

Y mae David yn gweithio fel ffotograffydd masnachol yn gwerthu lluniau celf gain yn ogystal â chyhoeddi nifer o lyfrau mewn cydweithrediad a'r cyhoeddwr Graffeg. Y mae ei lyfr diweddaraf Hinterland wedi ei gyhoeddi mewn cydweithrediad gyda chynhyrchwyr y gyfres lwyddiannus ar S4C.
