ABOUT ME

Through my photography, I seek to capture a feeling—a quiet moment, a passing mood, something easily missed if you don’t slow down.

​

I’m self-taught and always learning, constantly refining my skills through curiosity and time spent outdoors. Photography has become an anchor for my state of mind, giving me a reason to wander both close to home and further afield, taking in the world as it unfolds rather than rushing through it.

​

Mental health has long been a challenge in my life, and while professional therapy has played an important role, photography became my own form of therapy too. It offered stillness, focus, and a sense of purpose—moments of calm found through observation and creation.

​

I moved to Aberdeen in 2008 for work, and living in what’s often called the castle capital of the UK sparked a deep fascination with history and place.

Surrounded by ancient stone and rugged landscapes, I found myself imagining the lives once lived within those walls. Aberdeenshire became the foundation of my photographic journey, with Dunnottar Castle acting as the quiet spark that lit everything else.

​

Despite living in the region for years, it wasn’t until 2015 that I finally visited Dunnottar. Standing there for the first time, overlooking the sea and the cliffs, I found myself asking a simple question: what else is out there?

What began as capturing moments on my phone soon grew into a desire to explore more deeply, to see what could be created with intention—and with a real camera.

That’s when photography became more than a passing interest; it became a passion.

​

I travel as often as I can with a camera in hand, but I try not to experience the world solely through a lens. Living in the moment matters. The balance, I’ve found, is to move slowly—absorbing the atmosphere, enjoying the experience fully—and capturing those fleeting moments so they can be revisited long after they’ve passed.
