    David Hurn is still working, photographing and publishing at the age of 81 years and is regarded as one of Britain's most important reportage photographers.

    A self-taught photographer who began his career in 1955 as an assistant at the Reflex Agency, he gained his reputation with his reportage of the 1956 Hungarian revolution. David became an associate member of Magnum Photo in 1965 and a full member in 1967. Here in Wales, he set up the famous School of Documentary Photography in Newport in 1973 where he remained for 17 years.

    We met with David following the publication of a new book 'The 1960s: Photographed by David Hurn' published by Reel Art Press which demonstrates the breadth and strength of iconic images that defined the period. This first part of our in-depth conversation covers David's route into photography, individual style and 'Authorship', being a professional photographer, projects he has covered - including the Aberfan tragedy in the South Wales valleys.

    Part 2 of this conversation is available here >

    Caerdydd, DE CYMRU, Medi 2015

    Rebecca Thomas, Cardiff 2015.

    2015 has proven to be a whirlwind of activity and experience for up and coming photographer Rebecca Thomas. Although she's still studying for her photography Degree, Rebecca 'Sunflower Photography' keeps herself immersed in a wide variety of her own photography projects: portraits, shooting bands for Virgin and, more recently, spotted and mentored by renowned 70's Music photographer and Welshman Chalkie Davies.

    Ffoton chats with Rebecca on her photography journey so far on a sunny Autumn day by Cardiff's Roath Park Lake. Excuse the ducks and geese!

    We're also delighted to help showcase promising new Welsh talent like Rebecca as the fourth and final guest photographer in our month-long exhibition at The Littleman Coffee Co. in Cardiff during October 2015.

    You can listen to the Chalkie Davies conversation with Ffoton Wales here >

    This is the second and final part of our conversation with Chris. You can still listen to part one.

    "I'm a black and white photographer", says Chris Tancock. Based near the beautiful small City of St Davids in Pembrokeshire, Chris currently works within a five mile radius of his small family cottage which also hosts a gallery with a selection of his work. Popular with collectors and respected by Landscape photographers, the scenes he captures are near-timeless and far more nuanced with the inclusion of workers of the land and details of flora and fauna.

    Chris earns his living from his photography: limited edition prints and hand-crafted collectors Folios of his work are available via his website. His intense passion and commitment to his projects is evident from this Ffoton Wales recorded conversation - so much so that we lost track of time and immersed ourselves in a fascinating discussion requiring two parts! We challenge anyone listening to both parts to not reflect on their own approach to their photography projects and series' of images.

    You can listen to Part 1 of our conversation with Chris here >

    We can also recommend an earlier interview with Chris from 2011 by Rob Hudson on the On Landscape website.

    ABERYSTWYTH, CERIDIGION, MEHEFIN 2015

    Keith Morris, Aberystwyth. © Brian Carroll

    Keith Morris is a commercial photographer living and working in the seaside town of Aberystwyth. His main area of focus is the commercial and news market, deriving a significant amount of income from stock photography. Keith uses his expertise, knowledge and understanding of the market to great effect. By his own admission he does not travel far and works primarily within a 20 mile radius of Aberystwyth and so successful is he at the commercial end of stock, he now runs courses on how to deliver it in an increasingly difficult and competitive area of photography.

    His personal work is also geared with the commercial market in mind: he has a long-held passion for working with actors and dancers in theatre and, if the opportunity arises, stills photography for television series are also another source of income. Telling stories is part and parcel of Keith’s raison d'être and he enjoys creating scenarios using actors and models but always with the commercial market in mind. His enthusiasm for his trade is boundless. Sit back and enjoy Keith at his loudest best!

    Y mae Keith Morris yn ffotograffydd masnachol sydd yn byw ac yn gweithio yn nhref glan y môr Aberystwyth. Prif ffocws ei waith masnachol yw ffotograffiaeth stoc a newyddion. Mae rhan sylweddol o'i incwm yn dod o'r ddwy ffynhonnell yma. Y mae Keith yn defnyddio ei arbenigedd, a gwybodaeth o'r farchnad mewn modd effeithiol iawn. Nid yw Keith yn teithio yn bell o'i gynefin a cymaint ei arbenigedd o fyd ffotograffiaeth stoc mae e'n rhedeg cyrsiau ar sut i dynnu lluniau mewn byd cystadleuol iawn.

    Mae gogwydd masnachol ar ei waith personol ac mae'n gweithio ym myd theatr a dawns ac os bydd cyfle yn codi mae'n hoff o weithio ym myd teledu a ffilm.

    Adrodd straeon yw raison d'être Keith ac mae e'n hoff iawn o greu senarios gan ddefnyddio actorion, dawnswyr a modelau ond trwy lygaid masnachol. Mae brwdfrydedd Keith yn ddiben draw. Eisteddwch yn gyffyrddus a gwrandewch ar afiaith y ffotograffydd diddorol yma!

    Rob Hudson and Emyr Young.

    Rob Hudson is a photographer based in Cardiff and was our first interviewee as part of the Ffoton project. We interviewed him on location at BlackMill wood near Bridgend that inspired his enigmatic and poetical work on Mametz Wood: a battle where so many Welsh Soldiers perished during WW1.

    It took Rob about 18 months to complete the project and he drew inspiration not only from the wood but from David Jones' 'In Parenthesis' an epic poem about the poet's recollections of World War 1 and the battle of Mametz Wood.

    Y mae Rob Hudson yn ffotograffydd sydd yn byw ac yn gweithio yng Nghaerdydd. Rob oedd ein cyfweliad cyntaf a'r unig ffotograffyd inni gyfweld ar leoliad mewn coedwig ger Penybont. Dyma'r lle wnaeth ysbrydoli ei waith enigmatig a barddonol ei naws, 'Coedwig Mametz'. Y mae'r gwaith yn ingol ei naws ac yn ymgais i gyfleu'r frwydr lle lladdwyd cynifer o Gymry yn ystod y rhyfel byd cyntaf.

    Bu Rob yn creu'r gwaith ym a dros gyfnod o ddeunaw mis ac fe dynnodd ysbrydoliaeth nid yn unig o goedwig Melin Du Penybont ond o waith David Jones' 'In Parenthesis' sef hanes y rhyfel a brwydr Mametz Wood trwy lygad bardd.
