Portraits: Keara in a snowy Bute Park, Cardiff with the Nikon V2

26 February, 2013 by amydavies


As you can no doubt tell by the snow in these shots, I took these a little while ago … it was actually on the same day that I set off on an epic seven hour drive to Snowdonia… I met the lovely Keara through Twitter – as I seem to meet so many people these days. I put out a request for potential models on my feed, and Keara was one (perhaps crazy) enough to volunteer. It’s great to […]

Bute Park in Autumn: A Kaleidoscope of Beautiful Colour

29 October, 2012 by amydavies


Autumn is, quite rightly, the favourite season of many photographers – and I think I’m no different. I’m really fortunate to live just a couple of minutes walk away from the magnificent Bute Park which looks quite frankly resplendent at this time of year. Somehow, last year, I managed to miss most of the autumnal goodness, so this year I’ve been going much more frequently to try and catch the best moments.

Portraits: Elena in Bute Park (shot with the Sony a37)

19 July, 2012 by amydavies


These portraits were taken what seems like an age ago – when this big blanket of blue stuff hung in the sky and it was actually warm. Remember those crazy days of May when it was actually hot for a brief window of time? Ah to get that back again… Hopefully these will be an omen of an improvement in weather to come, and if not, hopefully they can distract for a moment anyway. I took these shots of Elena […]

Spring is coming!

11 March, 2012 by amydavies


Today was the first real day that I got a feeling that glorious spring and summer is finally here. Someone is going to tell me that spring is already here, or won’t be here for another two months, or whatever…. either way I didn’t care – I packed up my  bag with SIX cameras (yes I’m that crazy) and headed out into the beautiful sunshine to take some pictures. These are taken mostly on my Olympus PEN, which I find […]

The beautiful colours of Cardiff in Autumn

22 November, 2011 by amydavies


Autumn is one of my favourite times of year, photographically at least. The beautiful colours, gorgeous tones and fantastic light… it’s a real no brainer. And while I may be a bit slow in getting these up, with December just around the corner, I still wanted to make sure they were shared. I didn’t spend hours and hours on these photos, I’ll be honest, but it was just one perfect afternoon in November where the sun was shining, the air […]

Portraits: Jen in Bute Park

12 June, 2011 by amydavies


I took these photos a few weeks ago – you can tell by the fact that there’s Bluebells in a couple of shots. Next year I want to take advantage of this gorgeous season a bit better before it’s all over far too quickly. Not that I’ve got a problem with summer. I love that too. Anyway, this is descending into nonsense… enjoy some new portraits. If you’d like to discuss me shooting portraits for you, get in touch. P.S. […]
