About Duncan Wood

You’ve made it this far…

I’m Duncan; a Scottish landscape and nature photographer with a deep love for Scotland’s wild places. I’m an introvert, a bit of a geek and happiest when wandering in the rain through ancient woodlands. Photography is how I connect with nature; capturing what it looks and feels like to be there.

I’ve loved photography since I was a wee laddie, building my first camera from Lego (no, it didn’t work). But I won’t bore you with my ‘how did I become a photographer’ story…

Over the years, my work has been recognised with awards, publications, and exhibitions, but that’s not what drives me. I do this because I love it; Scotland is breathtaking, and photography is therapy.

I don’t rush from place to place, ticking off ‘honeypot’ locations. Instead, I take my time, constantly exploring new locations and unexplored nooks and crannies or returning to familiar favourites in different conditions, letting nature reveal itself naturally. That slower, immersive approach helps me see beyond the obvious, to capture something more personal, meaningful, and unique.

When I’m not out with my camera, you’ll find me chilling with my two Schnauzers, sipping whisky, hiking Munros, cycling quiet back roads, or strumming my guitar. I run Kirriemuir Photography Club and host workshops, helping others connect with photography in a natural and fulfilling way.

If my approach and work speak to you, I’d love for you to explore my portfolio or join me on a workshop to learn, experience and enjoy Scotland’s beauty firsthand.
