No! I Don’t Do Weddings and I’m Not Paparazzi! Have you ever been asked what you do? Only to answer that you are a photographer and be met with the suggestions that constitute the title of this article. I have! Too many times to mention. Howeve…

Today’s walk with a phone through early springtime countryside in Germany, surrounded by the calls of woodpeckers and nuthatches. It’s been one of the most wearying winters I can remember. And how we all need this renewal.

Last weekend, I went to the Musée de la Photographie in Charleroi. What a treat! Took in the temporary exhibitions by Gregory Crewsden and Cyril Albrecht before being humbled by some of the world’s most famous images…

That’s where I am at the moment. Thanks for your thoughts 👍

When you think the costs are at their most prohibitive, they go up even more! I may eventually go to medium format digital.

Some images from 2018 when I was getting to know my new (old) Hasselblad. I was already a fan of square format. It was becoming an expensive indulgence then, more so now. Unsurprisingly, I use digital for commissions and am very happy with that.

Looking forward to visiting Berlin in a week and a half’s time. We’ll see if I can add to these images from 2017!

Why photography matters.

I think it must have been within the last week and a bit? What's really sad is that the interior will also disappear in time. There were some lovely duck egg blue tiles on the walls and 1960's signs. (Sorry for the late reply - got no notification).

Documenting #Caergybi #Holyhead can be bittersweet…

Seeing former Irene Edwards fishmonger’s repainted as part of a high street improvement feels like losing an important part of the town’s history.

Coming soon! A collaborative exhibition by Ethan Beswick, Rolf Kraehenbuehl and myself as part of @orielcolwyn.bsky.social ‘s Northern Eye International Photography Festival: What We Don’t See - Unless We Look. Displayed in Colwyn Bay Library from next weekend onwards.

There's a month left to see the amazing #onthehedge exhibition at the Royal Horticultural Society's headquarters in Wisley. It's all organised by the Gareth Gardner Gallery, to whom I'm very grateful for including this image in the digital display (link below 08:45s) vimeo.com/1114280127?f...

Thank you, Alfie. And thanks for taking a look at my timeline!

Spotted on today’s bike ride.

Can’t resist a good bus stop! Spotted this afternoon in Germany 👌

A nice old Daimler, of all things, spotted on a street in Holyhead/Caergybi recently.

What’s all this Holyhead stuff about? What am I about? It’s all here: bio.site/robertlaw

Had some great fun making an impromptu portrait of Gethin - barista and lead singer of the band, Florés. A former police officer, Gethin enjoys engaging and lifting up his Caergybi/Holyhead community through coffee and music! open.spotify.com/track/3bY5sH...

I think you’re starting to find your voice again with your personal work, Mark?

Ah - that’s a lovely connection.

That’s like a Constable landscape 💚

For his presentation, he spoke mainly about his NY work, but his timeline also touched on his return to the UK and receiving commissions from you at Tatler.

We also had a good personal chat about his practice afterwards and I talked about my visit to Oxford Brookes, which closed the loop nicely.

Another memorable afternoon at @orielcolwyn.bsky.social

I’m doing a fair amount of cycling. But photography takes over when passing seductive new topographics! My phone is always to hand.
