Dafydd's interest in photography started properly with the purchase of a film SLR in 1999 after the theft of his
point & shoot at Glastonbury Festival. Previously - he'd had a good eye for striking images but not much in the way
of talent for classical art: drawing or painting. Coming from a scientific and technological background photography
instantly struck a chord joining his technological side with that of artistic appreciation.
His interest in photography grew steadily over the years mainly concentrating in architecture and landscape
photography moving on from colour film to colour transparencies - primarily Fujichrom Velvia.
The interest, still at a hobby level, accelerating somewhat with the purchase of a digital compact in 2002.
The ease of digital lent itself very well to photography in nightclubs - a very colourful and passionate environment
Dafydd very much enjoyed at the time.
The definiative moment in his photography was in 2004 with the purchase of his first Digital SLR (Nikon D70).
Being one of the first non-pro's to have such a camera in the London clubbing scene this made nighclubs, promoters
and DJ's take note of his photography and it wasn't too long before they were commisioning him to cover their events
and take PR shoots. This continued with regular commisions from Nightlife Magazines.
2008 should prove to be a great year for Dafydd with the purchase of his own studio lighting set and a move in his 'day job' to being the Lead/Senior Developer at a London based Image Library.
