About me
|
I was born in Middlesbrough in the North East of England in 1960. An established career in telecoms and electronics has always been supplemented by a love of photography and the outdoors.
My love of the remotest parts of North West Scotland led to a decision to relocate to Durness in Sutherland where I have lived with my family since November 2006. Sutherland is one of the least populated areas in Northern Europe and our move here has provided the opportunity to work in some of the UK’s last remaining wilderness. I do not use special effect or coloured filters, in fact the only filters I do use are 'neutral density' (which control the amount of light allowed to pass through the lens) and very occasionally, a polarising filter. I much prefer to be on a hillside with my camera rather than sitting behind a computer. Accordingly, my images are only subject to a 'light touch' post capture treatment and I never combine parts of one image with another. I am a member of the Royal Photographic Society and was awarded the Licentiateship Distinction in May, 2009. |

About my work
Landscape Photography
My digital prints are produced from very high resolution files and individually printed on quality photographic papers, usually Ilford Galerie smooth pearl. My workflow allows me complete control of the process from pressing the shutter release to printing and framing the image. Prints ordered online are generally A3+ (329mm x 483mm or 19" x 13") protected by acid free tissue and delivered in a protective cardboard tube. If you wish to order a print, please complete a contact form and I will contact you to discuss your requirements.
Visitors to the Cairn House Gallery can view a selection of framed and unframed prints. If you are visiting Durness on holiday, I can usually frame a print in your choice of finish within a few days. Prints are framed using quality materials to Fine Art Trade Guild standards.
Commercial photography
I also undertake commercial work including product photography for websites, architecture and interiors. For the technically minded, I can provide images in specific sizes and resolutions and in a number of formats including CMYK for commercial printing. I can also provide finished postcards and other stationery to promote your business or event.
If you have any special requirements or wish to discuss any aspect of my work, please do not hesitate to contact me.
