"After almost 30 years of taking photographs, for the most part simply to please clients and art directors, I am now thankfully back in a situation where I can take pictures just for my own interest, having to please no one. I got tired of making purses out of sows ears and turning dust to gold. The beauty about running my own gallery, is that if customers like my images they buy them, if they don't like the work they leave, I love that simplicity of operation. The reward is that I get to meet some really wonderful people, with a shared interest in the landscape and environmental issues, and we discuss experiences, thoughts and memories. This interaction is absolutely the best thing about running your own gallery. I am happier and more confident now about my work and my business, than at any time to date, I'm in a good place!"

Following a one-year Arts Foundation Course at the respected Falmouth School of Art in Cornwall, Glyn left to take a degree in Photography, Film and Television at Degree in London. On completion in 1987, he started freelancing for magazine clients, especially yachting and countryside titles such as Classic Boat, Yachting World and Country Living.

Over his career he has undertaken a multitude of industrial and advertising commissions for clients including National Grid, National Trust, Midland Mainline Railways, BBC and S4C TV, using camera formats from 35mm to 5”x4”.
