Meet the photographer.

Having worked in the commercial print industry for most of my career played a major part in forging my interest in photography. Unlike many photographers I have only ever worked with digital cameras, starting with a Canon IXUS way back in 2004

  • As the technology improved and my interest grew I graduated through the Canon product range from a Canon 400D to a Canon 50D then to one of my favourites, and my first full-frame camera - the Canon 5D MK2. I now use the Canon EOS R5 camera

    In 2019, I relocated to Barmouth to focus on landscape photography and opened this gallery on the town's main street in December 2022. I am a loyal Canon user, relying on my Canon R5 camera for most landscapes, and have recently incorporated drone photography into my work.

    I only shoot in RAW and process my images in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.

    No sky replacement or any other composition techniques are used unless stated.

    In my studio, - my screen and printer are calibrated to ensure maximum colour accuracy.

    Prints are printed in house on matt paper - I currently use the following papers -

    - Permajet Heritage Range Smooth Rag 310gsm Fine Art Paper

    - Permajet Heritage Range Etching 310gsm Fine Art Paper

    - Innova Natural Soft Texture 310gsm Fine Art Paper

    These papers contain no optical brighteners which means they won't fade over time. The inks are also guaranteed for over 85 years ensuring that the colours stay vibrant for as long as possible.

    And lastly, when framing I use acid-free tapes and barrier boards to back the prints, again ensuring longevity.

The images.

Dominic only shoots in raw and processes his images in Adobe Lightroom. No sky replacement or any other composition techniques are used. He doesn’t add, remove or re-locate parts of the landscape within his images.

In his studio the screen and printer are calibrated to ensure maximum colour accuracy. We print and frame in house in the gallery using archival papers, pigment based inks and high precision framing techniques.

Buy direct from the artist.

Verdun House Gallery is primarily selling direct to the public face to face, from the high street location in Barmouth. This is where you can see the product up close, talk to us about the images and choose the size and finish - and take the piece home straight away AND get the best price. However, if you prefer to buy online and have the piece delivered to your door we need specialist packaging and couriers to take care of it due to the fragile nature of real glass and wooden frames. Therefore, there is an extra cost involved and therefore the online prices may be a little higher than what you see in the physical gallery.
