GARETH MON JONES has a deep passion for photography of all kinds, spanning landscapes, weddings, and his favorite, astrophotography. Based in the local town of Llangefni on the picturesque Isle of Anglesey, his journey into photography began in 2014 at the age of 34. While it may have been a later start than some, Gareth’s enthusiasm and dedication have flourished, opening his eyes to the breathtaking beauty of his homeland.
As a self-taught photographer, Gareth thrives on continuous learning, always striving to exceed his goals and discover innovative ways to capture the world. He spends countless days and nights exploring the diverse landscapes and rugged coastlines of Anglesey and Snowdonia, immersing himself in the natural wonders of North Wales.
Photography has driven Gareth to achieve more than he ever imagined, but his greatest fulfillment comes from helping others discover their love for the art. This passion has naturally led him to establish workshops, where he shares his expertise. With plans to launch new workshops both in the UK and overseas, Gareth encourages enthusiasts to stay tuned for updates on his Workshops page.

Lorenz Holder grew up in Munich, close to the Bavarian mountains, and it is those mountains that have always played a major role in his life. Lorenz was a semi-professional snowboarder back in the day, until he injured himself badly and he pretty much had to quit snowboarding for a whole season in 2003. In that time Lorenz discovered the pleasure of photography for himself. Lorenz was fascinated by photos that could describe a whole scene, a whole story or even a whole day, in just one small moment caught on film. This fascination was one of the biggest motivations for him to start his career as a professional photographer.
"In my photos I like to show the viewers a different angle, something they normally wouldn’t notice, even if they were there at the scene. I might use colorful flashes, different camera angles or tilt and shift lenses – always trying to capture something a bit different. On the other hand, I also love the documentary style; simple black and white documentary is something very real.“

El Rocío, belonging to the municipality of Almonte (Huelva). Next to this small town is the Doñana National
Park, one of the most important wetlands in Europe, made up of various ecosystems that concentrate
extraordinary biodiversity. This place is what made Francisco interested in the wildlife that inhabits it, especially the
birds that visit this space every year and of course the Iberian Lynx, the most endangered feline on the
planet. This has been one of the places where it has resided and the species has been able to be recover to
this day. Francisco has also traveled to different parts of the planet, spending time and photographing the wildlife that can be found in those other regions.
Francisco is currently part of the team of ambassadors of Sigma Spain. He presents throughout the year with the brand at fairs that are organized on the national scene. He also organizes different workshops throughout the year from different photographic disciplines.
Currently, Fransisco is collaborating with the image bank of the Doñana Natural Area, which are used for the
dissemination and awareness of today's society. Also, he has participated as a jury in different

the planet.

HOMETOWN: ITALY
Francesco Gola is an Italian engineer who's fallen in love with photography. Born in Italy in 1981, as soon as he started taking pictures he fell in love with long exposures and seascapes.
For him, a long exposure is a parallel universe in which to escape from the frenzy of modern life and a source of inspiration that allows him to reveal the relationship between the outside world of Nature and the inside world of dreams, thoughts, emotions, desires, and wishes.
His passion for the sea and travels led him to visit some of the most iconic locations on this planet looking at them with different eyes. While continuing to travel in search of new landscapes to be photographed, he now lives and works in Milan where he collaborates with companies, sites, and magazines for the diffusion of photographic culture in Italy and in the world.
