His dedication shines through as he meticulously cuts each portrait with precision and finesse. Venturing beyond his studio walls, Oakley finds inspiration in Llandudno's picturesque landscapes. With camera in hand, he captures both nature's beauty and human essence through his lens. At times, he turns from photographer to subject himself - immortalizing his own image while simultaneously preserving others' stories. Amongst these captivating portraits lies George Studdy's silhouette - a true embodiment of elegance and grace captured effortlessly by Oakley's skilled hands. Each stroke tells a story; each curve reveals hidden depths within Studdy's persona. As we glimpse into Oakley's bustling studio once more, we witness him cutting another masterpiece - this time portraying himself engrossed in creating yet another silhouette portrait for posterity. This self-portrait encapsulates not only his passion but also serves as a reminder of the timeless art form he has dedicated his life to.
