ABOUT
Award winning, Edinburgh based photographer & image maker.
I originally trained as a sculptor and visual artist, graduating from Edinburgh College of Art in the mid nineties. That's where I first picked up a camera, starting out then with my Rolleiflex SL35 film camera.
​
The camera is digital now, and those fine art and sculptural concerns continue to find their way into my work. Still life is my principle discipline, although I have an interest in many forms of photography and increasingly, illustration.
​
Interest and inspiration are found in a number of different areas. Science and nature, and in particular a fascination with liquids, prove to be recurring themes in my work.
​
I also create narrative designs for book covers, CD covers and theatre posters.
​
I love spending my free time getting lost in the Scottish Highlands, with my camera.
