Meet Noel

Based in Barry, South Wales, Noel has been taking photos since a very young age. His first camera was a free "Coca-Cola" 110 which he had to collect and send ring-pulls away for! 

He spent the next few years "borrowing" both his parent's cameras, finding his feet by taking photos of various subjects from animals and scenery to model kits; the latter being inspired by his love for TV and Film as he tried to get the most cinematic and realistic looking shots he could. 

It was this that inspired his work to evolve into his passion for creative portraiture; although this wasn't the only photography he did. Noel had an 11 year stint in school photography. This saw him undertaking brand new challenges and using new equipment and technology - learning more and more with each shoot. This period also saw him shooting weddings, bands and gigs, behind the scenes pictures and corporate shoots, including photographs for many school prospectuses in and around S. Wales.

Taking a break from photography, to pursue other work in the TV and Film industry; making props and theatrical armour for big-budget productions such as Gladiator 2, Dr. Who and much more. A field he still occasionally works in to this day, but he has now also returned to professional photography with a renewed outlook for it - throwing himself into his creative, fine art style - something which he now would love to bring to you; immortalising you in pieces of art that are unique and 

personal to you.

In his spare time, Noel enjoys cosplaying and comic cons; acting and has appeared both on stage and screen; model making; singing and cooking - asian cuisine is a speciality: he makes a mean steak donburi and an amazing bibimbap!
