Robert Jones Photography

I was born and brought up in the small town of Rhymney in South Wales, famous for its poet Idris Davies, its brewery (alas no longer there) and the bells featured in the famous Bob Dylan folk song.

I became interested in photography whilst at school and even considered it as a full time profession but was parentally encouraged to get a university degree instead.

So, as a frustrated photographer I got a degree in Zoology but for most of my working life I worked in advertising and marketing in major London agencies such as Lintas, Young & Rubicam, McCann Erickson and WPP Group; which at least allowed me to be involved with the many genres of visual imaging.

However, my passion has always been for landscape photography as it has allowed me to spend as much time as possible in the wild outdoors, participating in my two favourite activities – walking and kayaking.

My quest for interesting images has taken me to many idyllic places throughout the UK, Europe, Africa, the Far East, New Zealand and the USA, especially whilst providing travel articles for magazines and websites both in the UK and the USA. From these I was fortunate to be accepted as a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
