I recently took a trip to Snowdonia in Wales in an attempt to reinvigorate my photography by shooting in a genre I’m unfamiliar with; Landscape Photography.
This video is a tutorial giving details of my shooting style, philosophy behind the shots, apps which I found helpful, as well as a selection of the resulting images at the close of the video.
It is also a video diary of my thoughts on the journey, specifically around needing to regularly challenge yourself in your photographic journey in order to keep growing.
I hope you enjoy.

This was incredibly inspiring. Thank you.
Great Cinematography on this video, as well!
OGWEN BANK! I'm amazed you chose the location! It's amongst my favourite places on earth!
Hi Sean, I just subscribed to your channel and i'm extremely happy for have found it.
Great language, respectful honesty, inspirational words and focus on what is really important; the art of photography. Your images are simply amazing and it's a pleasure to see them. We live in weird times where photographers (professionals or not) are thinking too much about their gear and how to acquire the next latest and greatest… so much that at the end of the day, they are giving up on being photographers to become something else. Thank you very much for your work!
There are elements of your videography which are truly magical . I'll admit my primary interest has been photography but your videos have enthused me with a desire to emulate your style if nothing else just to see if I can achieve anything close and for that I have to say a huge thank you. I'm hoping you travel more within the U.K. and produce more of these excellent videos. I don't know if you are aware of Thomas Heaton but I believe you guys would a superb presentation team for a mainstream television program. Anyway, thank you again.
Really inspiring video, immediately subscribed.
I just recently bought the canon 5D mk II from a friend photographer, and seeing you use it is additional motivation. 🙂
ive spent the past 19 years growing up in snowdonia and everyday it never fails to take my breath away
Wonderful images Sean, but I just loved your story.
