About me

I’m a fine art photographer based in Scotland, specialising in sculptural figurative work – images that explore the human form through light, composition, and the quiet tension between vulnerability and strength.

My work sits at the intersection of technical precision and creative risk. Whether working in the studio or on location, each project is a disciplined exploration of form, narrative, and the expressive possibilities of the body. I draw on a tradition that runs from Rejlander and Stieglitz through to contemporary figurative artists – work that treats the nude not as provocation, but as a timeless subject speaking to the intrinsic beauty of nature and the human spirit.

Every shoot is built on trust and collaboration. I work closely with my subjects – models, dancers, and people new to figurative photography alike – to create an environment where creative risks are celebrated and every image is made with care, intention, and full consent.

I make photographs the way a modeller builds a scale replica of The Golden Hind – methodically, obsessively, for the quiet satisfaction of getting it exactly right.

I shoot the nude form for two reasons. The first is simple: I love it. The human body is the most complex and rewarding subject I’ve found — endlessly variable in line, light, and expression. The second reason is less obvious: I shoot it because of the challenges it presents. Logistically, ethically, aesthetically. The harder an image is to build, the more satisfaction I get from building it. The nude demands more of me than any other subject — more trust, more preparation, more precision — and that’s exactly why I keep coming back to it.

The studio is my greenhouse, my workshop, and my theatre. Everything in it is intentional. The images that come out of it are the evidence.

I currently offer:

  • Fine art prints – limited edition giclée prints from my ongoing projects, available to buy directly from this site
  • Collaborative shoots – open casting for figurative, empowerment, and fine art projects across Scotland
  • Workshops & guidance – for photographers looking to develop their approach to fine art figurative work

If you’d like to discuss a print, a shoot, or a collaboration, I’d love to hear from you.
