Paul Fowles Photography 1.93

Paul lives in the small seaside village of Aberdyfi at the very southern edge of the Snowdonia National Park in Mid Wales.

After being brought up in the village Paul left Aberdyfi to find work and returned in 2007. Running a local holiday letting agency during the day Paul gets ‘out and about’ and is often seen in the local area in all weathers with a camera bag and tripod over his shoulder, fulfilling his main passion in life - photography.

In 2014 Paul decided to invest in a “proper” camera and with his self-taught methods was soon bitten by the photography bug.

He now sells his photographs as Barnacles Photography in a small local village shop “The Crabbing Shack”.

“Photography is an art form that triggers an emotional response with the viewer. Trying to equate the beauty and atmosphere in a photographic image isn't always easy, but I try to bring that to my images by shooting both in a realistic and artistic style. I want the viewer to experience my photographs, not just simply look at them, and to share in the sense of emotion that I felt when the image was taken”.
