Picking up a camera as a teenager I was drawn towards documentary photography, this led to a degree in photography and film and number of documentary projects. In the mind ’90’s I stumbled across the internet and landed a job in a start-up web agency, designing and building sites for brands who saw the potential of the new medium.

The internet and company grew rapidly. It was exciting and stressful, I learnt a lot. After 6 years of working in agencies I took a break and turned freelance in 2002. In 2010 I set up Control X Digital with the aim of providing agency quality websites and support without the usual agency overheads.

Over this time I continued to photograph scottish landscapes for myself and commercially for clients. More recently a drone has allowed me to explore Scotland from above.

Beyond photography my interests are cycling, walking, music, films, sustainability and the environment. During the lockdowns I started painting (badly), drawing and exploring linocut printing.
