The people behind the lens
Gavan Goulder
Gavan has pursued a successful photographic career for the past 14 years, specialising in reportage, portraiture, commercial photography and photography-based unique gifts.
He has worked for major national and international clients, including well-known magazines, newspapers and companies. He has also created a number of important exhibitions.
Gavan lives in West Cornwall, a part of Britain renowned for its stunning coastal scenery, dramatic seas and captivating light. The natural beauty of the region and the birth of his daughter Ella in 2005 inspired Gavan to create an online unique gifts business based around original photography.
Gavan says: “Getting up at dawn throughout the year has it's challenges. During the summer months this can be as early 3.45am. I slip on my shorts, check the weather and head off to the location for the day. I am constantly amazed by the light at dawn here in Cornwall. I have been lucky enough to have photographed all over the world but the light here is so special. The winter has it's challenges. I get a good lie in compared to the summer but have to deal with the weather which has plenty of wind and rain but still has that magical light. The extraordinary light lends a particular atmosphere to the photographs that make them ideal as unique gifts to mark special days. My motivation is that we want to offer the highest quality and most original personalised gifts on the market today.”
Chris Webber
Chris became involved in photography at an early age, when working as a picture interpreter. During this time he learnt the skills of photography and darkroom techniques. Chris then went on to run a successful business for seventeen years. The skills he learnt during this time, he now brings to The Day That as he uses his craft to create these unique gifts.
Chris has been surrounded by art and artists for most of his life. He spent much of his childhood in West Cornwall, where his mother was born and raised, and moved permanently to the area in his early twenties.
Chris has continued his love of photography and interest in art and has been involved in photographing local artists' work as well as creating the photography to be used in our personalised gifts.
Chris now enjoys visiting his favourite spots to watch and photograph the dawn of a new day for The Day That. The birth of his daughter Lilly in 2005 makes this even more poignant as he experienced first-hand the power of emotion unleashed by the birth of a child.
