I'm a Scottish landscape, travel, and drone photographer based on the East Lothian coast. I think of photography as a kind of hunting: I plan, reconnoitre, watch, wait, and take aim — but instead of a kill, I bring back a single moment of light, held still.

Long exposures are where I keep returning. There's something in the stretch of time across an empty landscape — a slow tide, a passing cloud, a still coastline — that I find endlessly worth chasing. Every image is my record of what I actually saw and felt in that moment, not a reconstruction of it afterward.

That instinct — patience over speed, restraint over noise — is what ends up in the folder a client receives.
