Bob Walls and Andrew Dally

Bob and Andrew are both members of Builth Wells Photography club. This new exhibition captures their love of photography, beauty of the environment and images of landscape in their own individual ways.

Bob Walls is a photographer whose work transcends the traditional boundaries of the lens. For rob, the camera isn’t the end - it’s the beginning. Each shot sparks a journey into imagination and transformation, where raw captures evil into vividly textured, emotionally resonant final images. with an insatiable love for editing, Bob revels in reshaping reality. Colours shift, textures deepen and moods emerge, guided only by the image held in his mind’s eye. He enjoys the process wholeheartedly, embracing the exploration that comes with reimagining a photograph into something truly unexpected.

Going in search of landscapes, ruined man-made structures, decaying vehicles and forgotten piers Bob doesn’t just document what he observes he evokes the stories they whisper through their decay, rust and rot. These environmental portraits create a magnetic pull, intriguing viewers and often prompting unexpected feelings.

Andrew Dally is a photographer based near Llanwrtyd Wells in Powys. He developed a deep attachment to the area after visiting regularly as a boy, and has lived here for the past 25 years. He specialises in documenting the landscape of the locality, and uses his camera to deepen his connection to the places he loves. He finds inspiration in the landscape, history and literature of the area. Preferring to photograph lesser known places, Andrew aims to capture scenes that will resonate with local people and offer visitors to the area a glimpse of its quiet, enduring beauty.

Whether it’s the eerie beauty of abandoned machinery or the subtle symphony of colours in a reworked landscape, Bob Walls invites you into his world - where photography is not just capture, but creative resurrection.

Andrews work in the exhibition features photographs of fragile and transient landscapes of Mid Wales, as well as special places from further afield. Trees, churches, chapels, and sheep are repeated themes.
