About Brad Carr
Brad Carr is an internationally published landscape photographer and Nature writer from mid-Wales. Having picked up a camera for the first time back in 2018, he has been quietly refining his craft and developing his artistic voice in the Severn Valley.
The art of photography, for him, is a spiritual practice more so than a hobby or profession. Through his photographs, he aims to express who he is beyond form. His photographs of the sacred Welsh landscape possess great depth and meaning, depicting the feelings of peace and tranquillity, and a sense of a long-lost home that he experiences whilst in the natural world following some turbulent formative years.
Having landed recent publications in international magazines and exhibited his ‘Finding Light’ collection in a prestigious Welsh gallery, Plas Glyn y Weddw, Brad is quickly establishing himself as a figure of authority within the world of landscape photography, and his future as an artist is looking increasingly bright.
