My real interest in photography began when I enrolled in Glyn Davies’ evening classes as a student at the University in Bangor when I was 19 years old. After successfully completing three stages of the course, I decided to take a year off to go backpacking in Australia. Upon my return, I decided to pursue photography as a career. I was accepted to study a HND Photography course at Mid-Cheshire College in Northwich for 2 years. I was taught how to be influenced by other photographers and how to explore and not be afraid to try different styles. Most importantly, how to be confident about my images and I hope this shows in my style of photography.

I have now opened my own business, Em’s Images, as a Wedding and Special Occasions Photographer and have finally fulfilled my dream! I specialise in natural/documentary style images.

I would like to extend my thanks to everyone who has helped me achieve this – especially Glyn Davies. Without his influence and encouragement, I wouldn’t be the photographer I am today.
 
Dechreuais ymddiddori mewn ffotograffiaeth wrth fynychu dosbarthiadau nos o dan ofal Glyn Davies ym Mhrifysgol Bangor pan oeddwn yn 19 oed. Ar ol cwblhau tri lefel yn llwyddiannus, penderfynnais fynd ar daith i Awstralia am flwyddyn.

Ar ol imi ddychwelyd adref, roeddwn ar dan eisiau dysgu mwy am ffotograffiaeth, a chefais fy nerbyn i ddilyn cwrs HND yng Ngholeg Northwich. Cefais fy nylanwadu gan ffotograffwyr eraill yno, a dysgais sut i ymchwilio ag arbrofi gyda gwahanol arddulliau. Datblygodd fy hyder yn fy ngallu i dynnu lluniau gwreiddiol, a gobeithio bod hyn yn cael ei amlygu yn y lluniau rwy’n eu tynnu heddiw.

Erbyn hyn rwyf wedi agor fy musnes fy hun, Em’s Images, fel ffotograffydd priodasau ac achlysuron arbennig. O’r diwedd mae fy mreuddwyd wedi dod yn realiti! Rwyf yn arbenigo mewn delweddau naturiol/dogfennol.

Hoffwn gymryd y cyfle yma i ddiolch o galon i bawb sydd wedi fy nghynorthwyo i gyflawni fy uchelgais – yn enwedig Glyn Davies. Heb ei ddylanwad a’i gefnogaeth, ni fuaswn y ffotograffydd yr ydwyf heddiw.
