Stephen Kielty's Photographic Journey

For the past 30 years I’ve worked in the music industry, originally as a sound engineer, then quickly moved on to producion and DJ’ing working with the likes of DJ Fabio, Goldie, Friction, DJ Hype and releasing music on the Drum and Bass scenes top labels

This all came to an abrupt halt in the midst of the 2020 pandemic. I found solace in the art of photography, and began my journey into the intricate world of nature and macro photography. Embracing the challenges of starting a creative venture during such unprecedented times, my passion for photography blossomed. Focusing predominantly on nature and macro photography, my work invites viewers to pause and appreciate the often-overlooked details of their surroundings.

From the delicate petals of a flower to the intricate patterns of a spider's web, every image tells a tale of resilience and beauty thriving in unexpected places. In this photographic adventure, London serves as both muse and anchor, a dynamic force that propels my exploration of the world's landscapes.

As my passion deepened, I ventured beyond the familiar, exploring the diverse landscapes of the UK and beyond.

Rooted in a strong Welsh connection, my photography pays homage to the untamed beauty of Wales. The rugged landscapes and serene vistas of my ancestral home adding a timeless dimension to my work, infusing it with a sense of heritage and belonging.
