Photographer from Scotland, UK, specialised in outdoor adventure and mountain sports

Professionally principled but, creatively, working part-time

Hello. I’m a photographer from the UK whose purpose satisfies a desire I have, which is to enjoy an active lifestyle outdoors (preferably in hills and mountains) and to use this time to create quality content for the outdoor community and the brands that support us. My aim is to illustrate the landscape - sometimes including people, sometimes without - using a creative blend of composition and colour, lens choice and light to produce striking and emotive images which clients purchase as fine art prints or license commercially to promote products, people, places and health.

Overview

Footprints in the snow as a walker traverses a snowy ridge at dusk in Winter on a hill in the West Highlands of Scotland.

Sports athletes and others interacting with the landscape is my ‘style’. Using a creative blend of composition and colour, lens choice and light, I produce striking and emotive images which clients license commercially to promote products, places, people and health.

Sponsored athlete photo shoots are a passion, challenging me to produce inspiring stories of people, product and landscape. This example illustrates Donnie Campbell, more widely known as a mountain runner but also a keen endurance cyclist who holds the recorded fastest known time / FKT for An Turas Mor and the Badger Divide, two of Scotland's premier long-distance cycling adventures.

Integral to the above is a keen eye for composition in the mountain landscape, a skill that benefits advertising agencies for commercial purposes, tourism boards and other bodies who have the need to showcase national parks and other premier locations, as well as business and personal clients seeking to purchase premium-quality artwork for home and office space.
