The Snowdonia Collection
Introducing the Snowdonia art collection, a series of images available in museum quality wall art and slimline canvas, with a few additional limited edition items. I’ll be adding more to the collection in due course from a collection of images taken in and around Snowdonia National Park over the past decade. Lovingly produced with high-end cameras and with more than enough mud, sweat and tears to capture the most incredible scenes. The finest images are then made available to you as wall art.
The collection is produced on demand, using the original high-definition image and a professional master printer, before it’s well-packaged and then shipped directly to your door.
You’ll find beautiful sunrises, incredible sunsets and awe-inspiring mountain clouds from many of my favourite locations in the national park.
Below is one of my favourite shots of Tryfan. It’s called “Adam & Eve on Heavenly Tryfan”. It was captured after hanging around in the clag on the Glyderau for two days. Cold, miserable and lacking inspiration, I had almost given up after a couple of days of looking into the inside of a cloud. Not long after deciding to leave the mountains, the sun just about gained enough heat to lift the cloud tops over the Glyders and allow this gorgeous shot of Tryfan. Adam & Eve can be seen poking proudly out from the summit above a majestic cloud inversion layer. A truly magical moment. I’m pleased to have it available in print, and a few limited edition canvases.
For the techies amongst us… it was captured with a Hasselblad camera at f6.3 and a whole load of long overdue luck, with cold fingers.

Take a closer look zoomed in really close. Beautiful. I love Tryfan. It’s my favourite mountain, to look at, not to climb…….
