Helen Gwyn Jones started recording her world at the age of 8 when she bought a Brownie camera from her sister, something which has become a lifelong passion.

A collector of the past (hers and other people’s) she likes nothing better than muted images of imperfection.  Oft found poring over Welsh grammar books when not photographing drains or rapturing over rust.
