About the artist
Colin Beck Mackay, South West Scotland
Member Since February 2007
Artist Statement Featured Member 30 March 2008




Colin bought his first camera, a Pentax Spotmatic in 1966 after seeing Michelangelo Antonioni's film Blowup! He still has the camera but now most of his work is now made with digital cameras.


He is a commercial and industrial photographer to trade but this gallery is dedicated to natural history and landscape work which he does to relax.


Most of the images are captured in Scotland, where he lives in a remote house high in the hills, and the Lake District which he can see from his window.




A very fine photographer once asked me, "What did it feel like the first time you manipulated an image?" and I said: "Do you mean the first time I shot black and white instead of colour, do you mean the first time I burned the corner of a print down, do you mean the first time I "spotted" a dust speck on my print, do you mean the first time I shot with a wide angle instead of a standard lens, I mean what are you referring to? Where does it stop, where does it begin?"
