My interest in photography stems from my love of travel, but it is only in recent years that it has developed into a true passion for me.

I am an amateur Scottish artist based in Glasgow in the West of Scotland and photography offers me an complementary escapism from my day job.

Working in an industry and role which is extremely numeric, precise, and constantly moving and changing, photography and art offers me freedom, flexibility and the opportunity to experiment and evolve my practice.

My main interest is in the landscape I live in with a particular focus on the coast but I shoot for myself first and foremost and I photograph scenes that appeal to me.

I alway seek ways to improve my knowledge, skills and the quality of my work. It’s a journey and I strive to improve my work wherever possible.

Exhibitions and Publications

I have exhibited at many open exhibitions including at the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal Ulster Academy of the Arts, the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts and the Paisley Art Institute where I was awarded the James BS Curr award at their 2020 annual exhibition.

My work has been featured in several publications including Black + White Photography Magzine and Outdoor Photography Magazine and has been featured in Outdoor Photographer of the Year and Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year.

Talks and Interviews

I have given talks about my interests, my approach, and my work to The Royal Photographic Society along with other organisations and camera clubs across the UK, both in person and online.

In addition to publishing my own podcast, Biblioscapes In Discussion, I have had the honour of being on the other side of the mic on number of occasions.

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss a talk, etc.

Supporting others. I am delighted to have raised over £4,000 through Charity print sales in support of wonderful organisations doing fantastic work to support others less fortunate.
