I’m an award-winning photographer, videographer, and author based in Edinburgh. I wrote 'Edinburgh – A New Perspective', a fine-art coffee table book that captures Scotland’s capital in sweeping panoramic images through the changing seasons. My work also greets millions of travelers each year at Edinburgh Airport, where seven large-scale panoramas have been proudly on display for more than two decades. With an expert eye for Scotland’s landscapes and a lifelong love of nature, I lead immersive tour experiences to some of the country’s most breathtaking locations. Known for my warm, personable approach—and for the legendary hampers I bring along—I ensure every journey and experience is both inspiring and memorable. In addition to my set itineraries, I create exclusive, tailor-made tours, often blending photography tuition with unique, once-in-a-lifetime moments. As the preferred nature and photography guide for the prestigious five-star Gleneagles Hotel, I design and deliver bespoke experiences for VIP guests. My clients have included Hollywood directors, renowned business leaders, and other high-profile visitors seeking the very best of the Scottish Highlands. Rest assured, you're in capable hands... I was recently interviewed on a podcast about nature and the outdoors— please head on over to listen to the episode on Spotify here, where you'll hear all about my story: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5e92bN22ivz2AWDnbZ8XI4?si=fdb384d07b5b4512
