Celtic Energy Coal Washery

Latest update, had a fantastically interesting morning yesterday photographing at a coal washery. Again I was hired by Camargue PR to get some images of Paul Davies from Celtic Energy as he has recently completed the 3 peaks challenge. He managed t raise a substantial amount of money for the meningitis trust. Something quite close to my heart as my good wife suffered with meningitis a few years ago. Thankfully she made a complete recovery.




As Celtic Energy sponsored Paul I felt it would be fitting to take a portrait of Paul in amongst the coal, which were conveniently arranged in little 'mountains' (requires a little imagination)



Whilst I was at the site, the site manager, Keith Jones, wanted some photographs to show the main processes in the plant! This was the really interesting bit, as I am sure most people wouldn't have the first idea of what really goes on in a coal washery or even that coal is required to be washed ! Also being Welsh and living in wales makes it all the more interesting when you consider our heritage and our association with coal

Photographing the processes proved to be just as interesting as the plant itself, requiring some creative lighting strobist style to achieve the required results.
