Hi, My name is Iwan Richards and I'm a 17-year-old from Port Talbot.

  I first became a photographer when I took photography as a GCSE in Ysgol Bae Baglan where I gained and developed lots of different skills: technical, creative and practical.

  I became interested in sports photography after my school friends asked me to take photos during one of their rugby matches. They really liked the results so I attended more games, more often, and kept on taking more and more photos.

  While I haven't been in this game long, my academic achievements and practical experiences have now taken me to the next level of becoming a professional sports photographer working with a number of different teams and clubs in South Wales.

  I am currently the official photographer for FC Porthcawl and actively expanding my portfolio to include other sports clubs as well as private and public social events.
