Assignment 2: Photographers




Glyn Davies:

From a fine-art family and upbringing in Cornwall, Glyn followed a one-year Arts Foundation Course at the respected Falmouth School of Art in Cornwall, and then took a degree in Photography, Film and Television at Harrow in London. On completion in 1987, he started freelancing for magazine clients.


"After 30 years of shooting for commercial clients, I am now in a position where I can take pictures purely for myself, but 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"
