“Sometimes, a photographs greatest impact is simply saying ‘I see you’ , that is the purpose of my work”

-Dylan Pierce Williams

Profile:

Born in 1972, Dylan took his first conscious photograph at the age of 7.  As a young amateur photographer Dylan was heavily influenced by his Uncle Islwyn Williams, a renowned Welsh artists who came to notiriary in Wales and beyond for his crafted watercolour paintings of wild birds and the natural world. Islwyn taught Dylan the fundamentals of composition, colour and light, he will be forever grateful to his uncle for his teachings. 

Dylan studied graphic design in Bangor Technical College specialising in black and white photography under the guidance of tutor Mr Ed Davies. He then ran his own professional commercial, Wedding and Photography business and applying his personal time to film and landscape photography. 

Although Dylan has long embraced digital media, his passion for film remains strong. Dylan is always learning about how light tells stories and evokes feelings. Each day offers new lessons, and he continues to study the greats including Bresson, Saul Leiter, John Free, Fay Goodwin and Gruyaert to name a few. Artistically he is influenced by such artists as Kyffin Williams and Claudia Williams.

Dylan is a devote of the 50mm lens. For street abstract work Dylan also uses a 90mm lens, especially when wanting to compress perspective.  

In 2025 Dylan began dedicating his time to documentary photography, focusing on his new project Fields of Isolation, which follows the struggles and successes of North Wales Farmers.

Documentary Project 2025/26 “Fields of Isolation” In the countryside, silence may seem peaceful with open skies and soft hills, but for many farmers in North Wales, it often means loneliness, pressure, and unnoticed emotional struggles. This project will reveal these hidden truths. It will be a two year-long photography documentary that highlights the challenges faced by local farmers—those who provide for us while silently dealing with stress, solitude, and stigma. Through portraits, environmental shots, and shared stories (some anonymous), I aim to give voice to these experiences, focusing on the humanity behind them. This project goes beyond farming. It’s about respect, resilience, and the importance of truly listening to our farmers. Sometimes, a photograph's greatest impact is simply saying, “I see you.” / “Dwi’n dy weld di” That’s the purpose of Fields of Isolation.
