About

My two creative passions in life have always been music and photography. Upon leaving school my sole focus was to become a musician. I studied music performance at Perth College, and then following graduating with a degree, moved into a career in the music industry and music education. Working as a freelance musician led to me working alongside artists such as Martin Taylor, Scott Matthews, John Goldie, Salsa Celtica and Blue Rose Code, in addition to long time collaborators Chas Mackenzie, The Halton Quartet and the Southern Tenant Folk Union.

My journey into photography and videography started a little later. Having purchased a DSLR to use for filming music projects, I quickly got the creative itch to explore landscape photography and was soon hooked. With countless hours out in the field, I was drawn to finding fresh takes on familiar locations.

As a photographer I have had my work featured in many publications, including as front cover for ‘Scots Magazine’ on multiple occasions and multi-page articles for Canon Pro Plus magazine. In November 2020 my image ‘Castle in the Clouds’, a shot featuring Edinburgh Castle above the fog, went viral on social media, getting seen by millions of people around the world, and was also featured in national and international press coverage.

In the last 7 years I have enjoyed working as a workshop guide, with extensive experience leading groups of photographers in locations around the world. Much of the enjoyment I now take from photography comes the excitement and wonder I see in customers when I am showing them these spectacular places.
