Scottish Landscape Photography Blog
Photography tips, field notes and location stories from Scotland’s woodlands, coasts and quieter landscapes.
Here, I share practical field notes, location essays and behind-the-scenes thoughts from my photography around Scotland.
The articles cover the places and ideas that shape my work: ancient woodland, Glen Affric, temperate rainforest, coastal locations, changing weather, composition, workshops and fine art prints.
Some posts are written for photographers who want to improve their craft. Others are slower reflections on places I return to again and again. Together, they give a clearer sense of how I work in the field, what I look for in the landscape, and what you can expect from my photography workshops.
