Description
Semi-professional photographer based in the south side of Glasgow, Scotland. Please feel free to contact me for further details. I am based in the south side of Glasgow, Scotland.
My passion for photography started at a very young age as my father was and still is a very talented photographer. I would often go out with him to photograph the surrounding countryside where we stayed and spend hours waiting at the bottom of our loft ladders when he was in his darkroom developing the film.
Eventually when I was old enough I started going up into the darkroom with him to help develop the negatives and final prints. This is one of my favourite elements of photography. The combination of complete darkness, the smell of the chemicals and the anticipation of waiting to see if our exposures were going to turn out the way we imagined! I think this is what hooked me to the art of photography, that and I got to spend time with my dad.
Today I use a Nikon digital SLR to take most of my photographs where as my father still uses film and completely refuses to move over to the digital world. I have one of his old SLR's an Olympus OM-D and I use it on the odd occasion, the hard part is getting him to let me use his darkroom!
My photography is mainly focused on landscape and street photography or all the interesting and weird shapes created in the world around us. But what I enjoy the most is trying to capture what I am feeling at that moment in time rather than what I am seeing.
My style tends to favour monochrome but if the image is going to be in colour it will most likely be dark and moody, this comes from years of working with my father.
“Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them”
Elliott Erwitt
Well I guess that's it from me, hope you enjoy the photographs!

I have been busy catching up on portrait photography shoots and editing after the marathon product photography work. I will share some of the final edits from all these shoots soon, but in the meantime here is a taster of what is being worked on at the moment! Can you guess what it is? Those of you involved will get access to the edits once I have finished them all, hopefully this week. Plenty of smiles, giggles and good memories.
