I’m a fine art figurative photographer in Aberdeenshire. This blog is where I write about my work: how I plan shoots, how I light and print, what I’m trying to get right, and what goes wrong.
I also write about the people I work with and how those shoots come together, because the images depend on that trust. And I write about other photographers whose work I admire.
If you’re interested in the figure as a subject, you’re welcome here.
