Since February 2015, Ffoton Wales has been shining a spotlight on the diverse and dynamic photography scene across Wales, bringing you intimate conversations with talented photographers.

Each episode delves deep into the stories behind career paths, practice and images, as photographers share their creative processes, professional lessons learned, and the unique perspectives that shape their work. Spanning regions from north, mid and south Wales, from documentary photography to fine art, Ffoton discussions offer an independent, grass-roots exploration of the full spectrum of contemporary photographic expression in Wales.

Whether you're a photography enthusiast, student, a working professional, or simply curious about the visual arts, Ffoton Wales offers an authentic and informative insight on talented photographers based, or making work, in Wales. Join Ffoton founders Brian Carroll and Emyr Young, along with other guest hosts, as they track established and emerging photography talent, one conversation at a time – with new episodes released as they are completed.

In addition to carrying our audio conversations, the Ffoton YouTube Channel also hosts short films and video segments with photographers. www.youtube.com/ffotonwales
