I have spent the past 20 years making images for other people, I have worked in advertising, TV & Film as a Visual Effects(VFX) artist, It has been a passion and I've been very lucky to have worked on some amazingly creative projects for some of the best VFX Studios in the world and while I do get to contribute  a certain amount of creativity to a project there are many other people who need to see and have a say in the final outcome on the work . You do feel very much a small cog in a big machine.

One of the reasons I got into landscape photography was to create images for myself.   To not be tied to a desk for months at a time to create a single image or sequence , but to be outdoors in nature, in that moment with my camera creating for myself.  Those 20 years have helped develop an eye for composition and colour aesthetic which I now apply to my photography both in the field and in processing. My approaach to both shooting and processing is simplicity, to be able to get my vision into my camera and processed with the least amount of hoops to jump through, to have a final image to print big and share online !

​

For the past 6 years I've run several workshops throughout the year in I am hoping to wind down the amount of VFX work I do & be able increase the number of workshops I can offer. I mainly run my workshops up in Scotland and Cornwall where I share my approach to Landscape photography and hope to pass on some tips and guidance so you too can begin to create the images you really want to.
