Lochaber includes a large area, from Spean Bridge in the North to Rannoch Moor in the South and from the Grampians in the East to the Small Isles in the West. more

Photographing from my Kayak
I had enjoyed kayaking for exercise and as a means of exploring far and wide from the water in my younger years, my ’yak has recently become an important part of my current photographic tool kit. more

Stillness. In Motion.
Over time, I’ve come to see Stillness. In Motion. not as a project, but as a journey of discovery. It was born out of change, guided by intuition, and shaped by the landscape itself. more

This early fascination made returning inevitable, but as a student, travel required planning and compromise. Scotland’s free bus travel scheme for under 22s offered me both an opportunity and a challenge. more
Shelters
“Shelters” is a documentary series of photographs that examines the visual parallels between World War II sea defences on the Moray and East Highland Coast and a unique, man-made driftwood structure previously located at the mouth of the River Spey more
How Connected are we to our Local Landscapes?
I have seen how climate change is impacting the landscape. How dry summers have killed the heathland and affected local farming. How wildfires have destroyed habitat, and coastal erosion has become a constant battle along some stretches of the Suffolk Coast. more
