I''ve been passionate about photography ever since I could hold a Camera. It was at Glasgow university when I was studying Astronomy and Physics that I decided it was Photography I wanted to pursue as a career. I used film cameras during astronomical experiments, and fell in love with everything photographic. After a while working as a professional landscape and portrait photographer, I moved onto weddings, which Ive been working at full time for the past 23 years. Even at the same venue, every wedding throws up many unique challenges and problems to solve, which makes it so exciting. Having worked at over 2000 weddings, and lots of different cultures, Ive gained an openness to different customs, meeting people from all around the planet.
Photographing the Planets, Galaxies, and Deep Sky Nebula bring difficult technical challenges, whilst travelling and photographing people use a completely different set of skills.
Photography is a balance of science, art and problem solving. The excitement of every photoshoot brings new inspiration and insight into Art and Science, which helps me look at humanity and the universe from so many different perspectives.
