I was lucky enough to be taught by Joseph McKenzie, regarded by many as the ‘Father of Modern Scottish Photography’. I now enjoy exploring the creativity possible using digital capture.

I have a passion for infrared photography and am a member of the League of Creative Infrared Photographers. Photography has renewed my wonder in the detail found in nature - which always challenges preconceptions and constantly surprises you with its beauty.
