Born in Strathspey in the Scottish Highlands and brought up on a farm, I have always had an affinity with the nature and beauty of this wonderful area and as the years go by, my appreciation of the landscape increases along with my desire to capture the mood and emotion of it all.

I developed a real passion (or addiction) for landscape and nature photography some years ago and now strive to recreate clear, crisp images of nature's 'fruits' from brief snapshots of time. Passion is sometimes an overused word - compare coming home from a mist-laden valley after a successful early morning shoot with landing a Salmon 'King of fish', or leaving a football ground after your team has won 6-5 after penalties - perhaps now you can understand a bit of what my passion for photography is all about.

I visit many of Scotland’s stunning mountain ranges with some local lads who are as hooked on mountains as I am on filling up CF cards. As a person who dislikes both walking and getting up early, I can only assume it must be my addiction for photography, which kicks me out of bed to join them.

My work is produced using digital equipment from the Canon 5D full frame 12.8MP sensor camera, c/w 17-40L, 28-105, 100-400L Canon lenses to the output of the HP z3100 photo printer which delivers outstanding long life archival prints. My small framing studio helps me control the quality of production through to the finished article.

I hope you enjoy viewing the photo galleries and any feedback is most welcome.
