A bit about me……..

I’m an outdoor photographer based in Scotland and I enjoy combining my photography with various exploratory trips to beautiful destinations in Scotland and the north of England. I always take my boys (dogs!) with me, Jasper and Mitchell. They’re great company and, as border collies, keep me active and encourage me to explore and be inquisitive. I just wish I had their energy!

I favour working at night and in low light conditions, which means that I’m often up and about from dusk through ‘til dawn. I like to create images where there is a touch of natural light at work in an otherwise fairly dark scene. This means that I shoot a lot of nightscape scenes and landscape astrophotography, but I also like to shoot during the blue hour and at sunrise and sunset. During the rest of the day I’ll have a go at general shooting and some wildlife and bird photography.

As a hobby more generally, landscape photography is a great way of getting out and about, discovering new places, learning about local history and geology, keeping fit, and staying active mentally.

If you’re interested in following my little adventures, you can get more up-to-date information about what I’m up to via my instagram account.
