Raising Mental Health Awareness - Through Photography
This past weekend I had the absolute homnour of having been asked to officially open a Landscape Photography Exhibition by Photographer Nigel Thomas in Kidwelly, West Wales ; an exhibtion that Nigel has worked on to help raise awareness of Mental Health …
“I am so grateful that photography, landscape photography in particualr, has become such an important element in my life. I have found a profound sense of peace and purpose. My journey into landscape photography qas not just a creative pursuit, but a therapeutic escape from the depths of severe depression and anxiety”
I can honestly say that I’ll NEVER forget this!
Throughout my career in this creative industry I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have presented at functions around the world. I’ve had some amazing experiences and made some amazing friends … and today I add to that!
A stunning body of work that has been instrumental in his recovery and my god, what a story he has to tell and is just so damn brave to do so.
It was an emotional rollercoaster of a day but it’s a ride I wouldn’t have missed.
Truly honoured. Truly blessed.
Adobe Terms of Service - June 2024 | FACTS NOT CLICKBAIT
Adobe recently updated their Terms of Service, however how this was done and the wording used did cause quite a strong reaction across the internet.
Some people took to posting videos with clickbait titles that served only to incite anger and unneccesarily spread worry across the creative community … and ultimately result in them gaining large view counts.

Spirit of Normandy 80th Anniversary D-Day Landings Commemorative Journal
With the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings fast approaching, I’m incredibly honoured and proud that portraits from my 39-45 World War2 Veterans Portraits Project were chosen to appear in the Spirit of Normandy 80th Anniversary D-Day Landings Official Commemorative Journal …
Top Row: Laurie Weeden, Allan Scott, Stan Swansborough
Bottom Row: Bob Stoodley, Ted Owens, Gordon Drabble, Victor Urch
The purpose of the project was primarily my way of giving back to the Veterans but also to Honour, Remember and to Educate and so seeing the portraits in such a publication, a personal copy of which will be given to King Charles, is wonderful and serves again to keep the memory of these incredible people alive as their names will be seen and read by those who look through the pages.
Cyril Stanley Ford
Should anyone wish to have a copy of the journal, drop me a message using my CONTACT PAGE and I can then put you in touch with the Editor in Chief who will be able to help you out.
