Commercial - It's always good to enter professional awards contests as there can be a decent PR spin-off.

Swansea Bay photo man flies flag for media

Terry Morris made his earliest strides in professional photography as a freelance with the Llanelli Star.
That was in the early years of the new century.
In 2006 he broke into a new sphere with the publication of his book Cool Cymru Collection.
It had portraits of Welsh icons such as Dame Shirley Bassey, Ryan Giggs and Kelly Jones. His Cool Cymru shot of Katherine Jenkins is on the right.

An exhibition ran at Cardiff's Wales Millennium Centre. ITV Wales ran a documentary series produced by Llanelli media big guns Tinopolis.
Now Morris has opened a studio in Dafen and is set to celebrate St David's Day with a show of his most celebrated celebrity images.
They will be on display at Llanelli Library where another Morris book - Faces of Stradey Park - is a popular item.
Mark Jewell, regional library manager, told Media Master: “Cool Cymru Collection and Faces of Stradey Park are amongst the most requested books in Llanelli Library, so it's fitting that Terry will exhibit here soon.”
The development of a Swansea bay media talent is always to be celebrated - get along to chat with Terry on his big day amongst the bookshelves.
