Gareth at Spectral Waves took some photographs of our young orchestra and it's members. I gave him a brief which he followed meticulously.
We particularly needed photo's for a new web-site currently under construction and Gareth produced a vast variety of excellent quality photos to meet all our requirements. Would highly recommend.

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Timing! Catching the moment, be it a look or expression or a particular light in a landscape. It is also about having an eye for a good composition and understanding how the various components of a picture will fit together.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
The photographs I take are for you so what do you want from them? Do you want formal or candid? What part of you and your event do you want the photographs to reflect? What kind of tone do you want the photographs to portray?
What do you love most about your job?
I love capturing moments and seeing the smile on the faces of those whose images I have captured. I love the satisfaction of doing a good job and taking a good photograph (even if it's just for myself) and I love the challenge of tackling each new assignment.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been taking photographs for over 40 years. When I started, I took black and white photographs on film and developed and printed them myself. I also developed slide film. Thirty years ago, I began a long and successful teaching career and retired from teaching in 2017. However, I feel I am much to young to stop contributing completely and saw this an opportunity to really pursue the interest in photography that I have had for so long. I have grasped the "digital age" with both hands and am skilled in digital manipulation of photographs but the foundations laid down all those years ago in my make-shift dark room ensure that the work I do now is high quality.
In terms of starting my own business, I have much more control over the direction I take and whilst I realise that ultimately the client is in charge, I am able to use my own judgement more freely than may have been the case in my previous career.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients will get what they want. I will listen carefully to their requirements and employ my skills to ensure they get what they desire. I will take my responsibilities seriously though I believe I am able to make the client feel at ease and comfortable. I will be thoroughly organised and efficient and ensure that the client is communicated with regularly and they can be assured that the assignment will be well planned and carried out.
