About & FAQs
A little bit about me…
If I’m honest, I’ve never been good with words which is why photography turned into my creative outlet. They say a picture is worth 1,000 words and I find looking back at an image is the most powerful way to relive a moment in memory.
I’m based in the Highlands of Scotland where I enjoy exploring the country’s hidden gems by walking remote areas as much as I can. Other than work and family life, you’ll find me exploring the hills or travelling anywhere I can (with the camera packed for the adventure). My business background is in advertising and marketing where it was my media degree which saw me pick up a DSLR camera for the first time. From there my photography journey started…
