I am originally from west central Scotland - I grew up in Airdrie, Lanarkshire and studied at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. In 1993 my career took me to the north-east of Scotland which is where I now call home.

Since being introduced to the hills in 1990 I have spent much of my free time in the outdoors, almost always with a camera in my backpack. I have a large collection of photographs and slides from walking and climbing trips, taken while travelling light and fast with an SLR and just a single lens in the Highlands & Islands of Scotland, the Swiss and Italian Alps, and the National Parks of Arizona, Utah, Nevada and California.

Gradually though the photography has come to dominate and in 2010 I decided to apply myself more seriously with the aim of making properly-crafted landscape images; the results can be seen on this website.
