It is with great honour that I announce this exciting news!
I have joined the ranks of some truly world class photographers as a tutor for the prestigious Light & Land, a photography tour company led by Charlie Waite who is one of the leading names in landscape photography; a man whom I have deeply respected since my artistic infancy.
I am thrilled to have been given the opportunity to work with Charlie and the team at Light & Land, and I am most excited to see where this relationship might lead, and how I might develop as an artist and educator throughout this next chapter of my creative career.

Introducing: Light & Land Leader Brad Carr
We are excited to introduce and welcome Brad to the team.
Brad is a blossoming photographer and author from the peaceful hills and valleys of mid Wales. He has been quietly and intently refining his craft during the silent and sacred hours of morning since 2018. Brad’s focus is on photographing the natural world that he calls his home having turned to the safe embrace of Mother Nature’s arms to help him find peace and purpose following some turbulent formative years.
These feelings of peace and tranquillity are reflected in his photographs, which possess a spiritual-like quality to them. His debut portfolio, aptly titled ‘Finding Light’, boasts tremendous depth and meaning, and helps to tell an inspiring story of Brad’s personal connection to the landscape and the spirit of Nature that he hopes can serve to stand as an inspiration to others to turn towards the natural world at a time when humanity is in desperate need of reconnection.
Having recently landed multiple publications in Outdoor Photography magazine, as well as further publications in On Landscape and Nature Vision Magazine, Brad’s future as an artist certainly looks to be a bright one.

Below, you can read more information about the tour, should you be interested in joining me and Verity for what will be a magical adventure into this mystical, sacred landscape.
Magical Ancient Landscapes – Snowdonia (Eryri)
Tutored by Verity Milligan & Brad Carr
Snowdonia (Eryri) is one of the UK’s finest landscapes that is steeped in history and mythology. This part of Wales has an astonishingly diverse landscape given its small geographical space. In addition to the 9 mountain ranges, including the famous Snowdon, there are 23 miles of beautiful coastline, 434 miles of rivers, and over 100 lakes. The landscape carries many scars left by industrial endeavours, including slate quarries, such as the spectacular Dinorwig, which dominates the vista above the tranquil waters of Llyn Padarn. Did we mention the many stories and legends that are tied to the area? According to them, dragons, giants and wizards once roamed these ancient lands. Rumour has it that one of these three Snowdonian lakes – Llyn Dinas, Llyn Llydaw or Llyn Ogwen – contains King Arthur’s Excalibur.
During this tour, we will aim to show you the best that Snowdonia has to offer. We’ll explore the area around Llanberis, including accessible parts of Dinorwig quarry, which still has many left-over remnants of its industrial past and can be a fertile ground for creativity. For a classic and spectacular view of the Snowdon horseshoe, we’ll visit the lakeside of Llynnau Mymbyr as well as Llyn (lake) Ogwen and Llyn Idwal for dramatic views of the menacing Mount Tryfan, Pen yr Ole Wen and the infamous Devil’s Kitchen.
Away from the mountains we’ll explore the amazing beaches of Anglesey, especially Newborough, which boasts a pine woodland just off the beach itself as well as considerable dunes that can be used for compositions looking back towards the mainland. There’s also the tidal island of Ynys Llanddwyn and Tŵr Mawr lighthouse which is more than worth the walk along the beach, especially during the golden hour(s). If shooting sunset, we will have to be careful that the rising tide doesn’t leave us marooned on the island for the night, although there are many worse places to be trapped! Along the coast is Penmon Point with the imposing eerie Trwyn Du lighthouse, a great location for sunrise. To complete the trio of lighthouses, we’ll visit South Stack on the west coast of Anglesey, looking across the Irish Sea.
Magical Ancient Landscapes – Snowdonia (Eryri)
15th – 18th October 2025
In addition to the mountains and coastlines, Snowdonia has plenty of forests and waterfalls, including the beautiful Fairy Glen just outside Betws-y-Coed, and we’ll aim to spend some time photographing these locations over the course of the tour. By the end of the tour we hope you’ll have fallen in love with this ancient, magical landscape and have plenty of wonderful imagery, and memories, to take home with you.
