Glyn Edmunds Guest Speaker
Presents “OiPEJETA CONCERVANCY”
Although I am a wildlife photographer at heart, I am also a generalist, rather than a pure specialist, and my favourite is African wildlife, which this site is dedicated to. I shoot a wide range of styles and genres.
I put the emphasis on quality with my images, but quality is a big word and can mean many different things, although it always comes from the skill and technical knowledge of the photographer. People sometimes ask, “what is quality?” It is very hard to describe quality, as it includes sharpness, contrast, composition, colour and depth of field, to name just a few, but however you measure it, it is always visible and makes the image stand out!
My home is in Stafford, UK. I have previously lived in Porthcawl, Douglas (Isle of Man), Swindon, Neath, Penygraig and Maerdy.
INFO
I am now largely retired and a former semi-professional photographer and I have been doing serious photography since 1965

My work has been published in magazines, newspapers, brochures and websites around the world
