The Black and White Landscape

Online Catalogue |  The Black and White Landscape



The Pembrokeshire landscape is a subtle mix of gently rolling farmland in the south of the county, the Preseli Mountains and numerous scattered rocky peaks to the north, meandering rivers and the Cleddau Estuary. Besides the oil industry centred around the Milford Haven waterway - one of the deepest natural harbours in the world - Pembrokeshire has remained wonderfully unscathed by heavy industry.

The birds. Thank god for the birds. Came past at just the right moment. Mind, I had been watching them for ages moving around the field in flock formation landing here and there. But always just too far away to work. Then as I was about to give up hope they performed a stunning fly-by right in front of the camera. I salute them.

Abandoned Farm, Tafarn-y-bwlch, Pembrokeshire, West Wales

This image perfectly encsapsulates what I want to portray in my work and indeed is the sort of photograph I love to take. Towering over the farm are the Preseli hills shrouded in mist and looking rather foreboding. The fabric of the farm is just beginning to deteriorate - slates missing from the roof, windows falling apart - and the house and outbuildings look vulnerable and desolate. This is a picture of a once active farm in the early throes of decay.

I could spin you some yarn about how I trekked across a field and squared up a few yards from this brute to capture his rugged beauty. But I'd be lying. He was actually in a pen and I shoved the lens through some bars. Definitely a photogenic old boy though.

Treleddyd Fawr, Near St Davids, Pembrokeshire, West Wales

As a self-confessed architectural history junkie finding this gem was truly exhilirating. Owned and lived in by Mr Griffiths, this cottage in the Pembrokeshire vernacular style is a piece of living history. It has stood for about two hundred years and the only major difference between when it was built and now is that it has electricity. Everything else is as original and it's beautiful.

Towards Carn Ingli, Pembrokeshire, West Wales
Towards Carn Ingli, Pembrokeshire, West Wales

Just as you drive over the highest point of the Preselis and drop down the other side you get this wonderful view towards Carn Ingli, Newport and the sea. I've used a medium length lens to compress the perspective and accentuate the intersecting layers of land leading to the sea. And that huge perfectly formed cloud was a real bonus.

The Foot of Foel Drygarn, Pembrokeshire, West Wales

Driving around looking for inspiration (an occupational hazard in my game) I came across this flock penned in near the foot of Foel Drygarn waiting to be inoculated. It helped having a bunch nearest me who were inquisitive and obviously not in the least bit camera-shy. Getting them to sign a model-release form would have been a bit tricky though!

Trinant, The Preselis, Pembrokeshire, West Wales
Trinant, The Preselis, Pembrokeshire, West Wales

At the very least I think it is crucial to document buildings such as this. It will not have taken long for it to reach this state of dis-repair and within our lifetime without intervention it will become a complete wreck. This place was once a hive of activity with sheep being penned ready for shearing or dipping. The only noise on this day was the howling wind rattling the corrugated iron and lifting the odd slate on the roof. I like to think this kind of black and white landscape photography is reminiscent of the great Fay Godwin who recorded similar scenes in the sixties and seventies in the north of England. Minutes later the rain was coming at me sideways as I bolted back to the car.

Trinant II, The Preselis, Pembrokeshire, West Wales

I first photographed this derelict sheep farm a year ago and have been determined to return. In the short space of time since the first photograph on the left the roof has caved in considerably. Consequently I've decided to make Trinant a project whereby I'll go back once a year to take a photograph documenting its gradual deterioration.
