We are losing parts of our environment. That week we will not get back. Unless we can showcase this in a different manner, you know, we could lose it. My name is Lewis James Phillips. I'm a large format photographer based in Wales. I've been a photographer, professional for about 20 years. I'm a qualified lecturer in photography. And I am a full-time conservationist. Conservation plays a large role in my photography. And it's not just about the plants and the landscape. For me it's about showcasing an environment, giving people an understanding of the environment. The benefits it gives us back. Basically conservation, it's what I live for us, suppose these days. And photography I live for as well. I shoot on a 5-4 camera. So currently I use a Charminate, which I absolutely adore. But once you get used to it, it just like a normal camera becomes an extension of your arm and your eye. And just the movements, the format, the way it slows me down. It's made me fall in love again with the art photography. And it's made me look at the world very differently. And the ethics for me behind it, you know, have to do everything in the field. No real post-processing. I'm a meter reading. So I feel like I'm more in one with the environment. I'm involved in a few projects within the UK. And I had no idea really about temperate rainforest. I did a little bit of research and I was amazed at what I learned. Then realised that I had it on my tour step, which made me feel even more embarrassed to be honest. This is so good conservationist. I'm very passionate about art. I'm very passionate about photography and obviously the environment and culture. And I feel that we are losing environment and culture. And I want to try and use my personal work to promote these things that are disappearing, even in the UK. So basically the future for me is to push my artwork, push the environment and to push conservation as well. I'll be setting a podcast up called The Cocky Camera Man and The Cockney Conservationist. This year I'm going to be at Walson West and you can find my website at LewisJamesPhilips.com. you
