The Lens Behind the Photos
Photography has always been more than just a hobby for me; it's my way of storytelling, my art form, and my means of connecting with the world. I believe that within every frame, there's a unique story waiting to be told, and my mission is to tell those stories through my lens.
My Journey
My photography journey began around 20 years ago in Scotland . After studying photography for years I've had the privilege of photographing diverse subjects, from breathtaking landscapes to candid human emotions, each of which has left an indelible mark on my creative soul.
My Style
I don't limit myself to a specific style or genre because I find beauty in diversity. My portfolios over the years showcases a wide range of photographs, each reflecting my evolving perspective and creative growth. Whether it's the warm hues of a sunset, the candid joy of a child's laughter, or the serene stillness of a landscape, my goal is to evoke emotions and create lasting memories through my work.
Why Photography?
Photography, for me, is more than just a profession; it's a means of expression. It allows me to freeze moments in time, to capture the essence of life, and to share the beauty I see in the world with others. It's about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary and transforming it into art.
What Drives Me
My inspiration comes from the world around me – from the changing seasons to the people I meet on my journey. I'm driven by the belief that a photograph can convey emotions and tell a story that words often fail to express. It's this constant quest for the perfect shot that keeps me excited and motivated every day.
Beyond the Lens
When I'm not behind the camera, I enjoy teaching both children and adults in the craft of photography. I am also a father to my young son who is probably the most photographed child around! These activities help me stay connected to my craft and continue to fuel my creativity.
