Digital Photography - Our Reputation

Rob Bowen Profile
A passion since childhood, photography has been an integral part of the family's history for decades. Portrait, landscape and wedding photography captured the moments when traditional film cameras dominated the scene. Still keeping family tradition alive with the advent and usage of the modern Digital SLR, ODPDS Digital Photography services aims to capture the 21st century in all its finery sometimes pushing the limits with our unique images & photographic ideals.
Our Digital Photography has captured the imagination with coverage of local community events gaining the reputation of providing unique and memorable images. Kenfig.org Local Community Group website provides examples of our works - www.kenfig.org.uk (the website having been identified by The National Library of Wales as "an important part of Wales' documentary heritage") - this website outlines our digital photography, image manipulation & graphic design skills in addition to our web design and our local historical prowess.
The Annual Gambo Race coverage has been portrayed both online and within the Local Press - The Internet version of events attracting worldwide audiences of millions from far and wide... the 2007 event attracted ¼ million hits in 7 days after the event had taken place. The Gambo Race coverage is part of a larger local history project that is continually ongoing [ Kenfig / Cynffig - The Complete History ]
