Some portraits of painter Liam O’Connor in his Cardiff studio, for a newspaper feature.

A set of portraits of TV and radio presenter Eleri Sion near her home in Barry in South Wales. These were for a profile piece in a welsh language magazine, with one shot for the cover and a couple more for inside.

A portrait session in Swansea to illustrate a feature on Mothers’ Day in one of the Sunday supplements.

Some portraits of Edwina Hart AM, Minister for Health and Social Services at the Welsh Assembly Government for a trade journal feature piece.

Some shots for Car Dealer Magazine. Shot on the owners driveway at his home and in his home office.
