I moved to The Trossachs over 35 years ago and spent almost the last 25 years in hospitality — behind the bar, not the dramatic kind.

It was a life shaped by people, place, and a strong sense of welcome. Throughout that time, photography was always there, quietly growing alongside it. Eventually, it became the path I chose to follow fully.

I’m a landscape, nature, and wildlife photographer, deeply connected to this part of Scotland. While landscapes are often what first draw people in, my work goes beyond surface views. Time is the constant — waiting for light, weather, and moments that can’t be rushed. It’s a demanding way of working, but a deeply rewarding one. Patience isn’t optional; it’s the craft.

The Trossachs are more than a subject for my lens. They’re home, context, and a long-term relationship. Over years of returning to the same places in different seasons and conditions, the landscape becomes less about spectacle and more about familiarity, mood, and quiet detail. That sense of connection shapes how I work and what I look for.

During my years in hospitality, photography played multiple roles — personal expression, visual storytelling, and an invitation for others to explore the area more deeply. The images were never just about promotion; they were about encouraging people to slow down and experience the place for themselves.

Alongside my personal and commercial work, I also lead small photography tours and workshops. These aren’t simply technical sessions — they focus on learning to see, to slow down, and to respond to what the landscape offers. One of the most rewarding parts of this work has been the people I’ve met and the connections that often continue long after the workshop ends.

My photography is available through this site, via Alamy, and through my stock photography platform. Whether you’re here to browse, license images, or explore what’s possible photographically in The Trossachs, I hope the work resonates — and perhaps inspires you to experience the landscape in person.
