About

Welcome to my world, captured through the lens. Urban and rural landscapes converge to reveal breathtaking beauty and everyday details often missed in the rush of daily life.

Graphic design is my formal qualification; however, photography has been a hobby that has captivated and inspired me throughout my travels.

My love for photography takes me across diverse terrains. I seek out moments celebrating nature's grandeur and the simplicity of cityscapes.

Images are in natural light, and besides a UV filter, I rarely use them, which is a choice, not a comparison. Each picture tells a story of space, light, and the boundless allure found within the panorama of our surroundings.

FAQs

Here are some of the questions I have been asked during my photographic journey by both friends and family.

I do not work on commission, and the products mentioned are ones that I personally use and love.

  • Photography was part of my university degree; by year 3, I was working as a part-time freelance photographer. Although my parents were both professional wedding photographers, I was drawn to landscapes and vistas, and for me personally - photography is, first and foremost, a hobby.

  • Camera models and lenses are personal, and they depend on your interests. Do some research to see what style of photography you like; what topics interest you and who inspires you. Friends and family can be a fantastic source of information to start you on your journey.

    Consider joining a camera club and try out different cameras and lens.

  • My go-to lenses are a UV filter and a Canon 55-250mm. I have only three to four lenses, as my shots are primarily landscapes, and I rarely ‘sit and wait’ for a shot.

    Another hobby of mine, are airshows and watching and asking other photographers what lenses they use and why, is a great way to consider and learn, new insights. it has raised my interest to consider a Canon 100-400mm, which sounds like an awful lot of fun.

  • I use a smart phone, instant camera and DSLR. I originally started with a SLR, then DSLR however smartphone cameras, for speed and convenience, are amazing.

    That said, night photography and setting up a DSLR, with remote connections and varying apertures, ISO and speeds is still something smartphones can’t do.

  • One always comes to mind.

    It was an early spring day in Scotland, and my last weekend was in Edinburgh and all week the weather had been dreich.

    The night before leaving, I told myself I would visit the Forth Rail Bridge as a farewell adventure if the weather was good.

    It has always been my favourite bridge in aesthetics, sentiment and achievement.

    The next day was cloudless, and I not only went over the bridge, I walked from North Queensferry to South Queensferry via the road bridge. What should have taken 2-3 hours took me 7 hours, as I kept stopping to take pictures.

    • One camera battery died.

    • Another went below 20%

    • My smartphone battery died.

    • My feet ached, but what a day. Red Letter Day.
