Bio

My first experience with a camera was using a Kodak Box Brownie aged about 4 while on holiday on the Isle of Iona. The results were not good, but I had started something. Over the years I progressed to an Instamatic with flash cubes and then an all metal Russian Zenit, my first 35mm camera. From this point I was hooked. I really got going when I bought a second hand Nikon FE and 50mm lens for £50 - this lasted me another 25 years.

After studying for an MA in Social Science at Glasgow University, I was lucky enough to live and work on Iona for many years during which time I had my own traditional darkroom and digital photographic restoration business. While living there I photographed and wrote a book: The Cloisters of Iona Abbey , my first commercial success.

After getting married on Iona we moved to Derbyshire and eventually realised that I wanted to pursue my photography professionally. So I went back to University (Derby) to study for a B. A. (Hons) in Commercial Photography, for which I was given a first. I was also pleased to be awarded Associate membership of the British Institute of Professional Photographers, ABIPP, at the same time based on my portfolio of work. Since moving to the far North of Scotland I have allowed this membership to lapse.

I am now delighted to be a full-time photographer. I aim to be discrete, incisive, sympathetic, bold and creative in my photography. I look for the essence of the subject; bringing out details that others might miss. When I cover an event, such as a wedding, I look for the moments that make the day special. In the studio I am known for my creative and collaborative approach to getting the best images for all my clients. Read Less
