Phil Green
Photography
Phil Green Photography is based just outside of Wrexham and covers events and projects both here in Wrexham and across North Wales. Since launching his business nearly 5 years ago, Phil has worked with many community groups, sports teams, and organisations across the region — including being the official team photographer for the North Wales Crusaders Rugby League during their 2024 season.
We sat down over a coffee at The Foundry and Phil told us his approach is all about making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, and he aims to do it in such a way that feels authentic, artistic, and meaningful.
Phil also shared with us he has a new love for street photography, producing eye catching colour and black-and-white images that highlight everyday emotion and timeless drama. We very much look forward to sharing more of his work being captured right here on our doorstep in the near future.
