The pale blue skies over silver sand at a small, beach on the Isle of Skye. This long exposure image is one that makes me feel so calm and so lucky to witness a soft beauty that is neither colourful or dramatic but simply reflects the natural beauty of a perfect sky. The gentle curve of the beach bends round towards the rocky beach where dinosaur footprints lie, often unnoticed, under pools of water and sand. This is an ancient place where people have looked out at this view for over 7000 years. I love printing! This beautiful piece is printed here in my studio on the Isle of Skye on exquisite fine art paper with a watercolour texture. This paper gives the artwork a soft dreamy look much like a watercolour painting. The paper is museum quality; in combination with the set of ten colours of non fade inks that I use, the print will stay colourfast for a lifetime. About My Materials People often say that my images look like paintings because of the richness of the colours, the depth of the black and the texture of the materials I use. Arches-Canson are one of the oldest paper manufacturers in the world, they have been making paper for over 450 years in France. Founded in 1557 and printers to Louis XVI, their paper was used by Voltaire and Napoleon and the Montgolfier brothers used Canson paper to make the first hot air balloon! Artists like Picasso, Ingres, Chagal and Miro used Arches-Canson paper for some of the worlds' most famous artworks and they have been making paper and canvas for photography since this art began over 150 years ago. The print is shipped rolled in a strong art tube to ensure safe delivery.

United Kingdom
As a professional photographer I travel often to the islands of northern Scotland to make my images in places that provoke a profound emotional reaction. The colours, the textures, the wildness of the places and the history are all intertwined in a fascinating, and often bewildering melting pot of sensation that forces me to make art. After moving many times to get to where I should be, I now live on top of a cliff at the northern end of the Isle of Skye. Skye is a large and very beautiful island in the far north of Scotland; a place of inspiration, myth and legend. The beauty of the landscape draws artists and walkers, photographers and lovers of Nature like a magnet, and I am likewise smitten. Skye has a ruggedness and intense green hills that would make anyone pick up a camera or a paintbrush. My work has moved through variations on a theme of movement and colour. Whether the camera moves or I move or the landscape moves it is all the same. Colours, moving blending and soaking into one another create a sense of playfulness, the feeling you get when the wind is in your hair on a bright sunny day. More and more I wonder if there is any end to how one can capture the colours, the lines and the essence of a place. In my studio today, the bright green Hill of the Red Fox is shrouded in a light mist, the wind is howling and the clouds are moving quickly across the hills. It is a scene that makes my heart sing. I hope my work conveys some of the joy I feel when I see these colours, the harmony and the wind singing through it all. It is at least a quest that, hopefully, will last a lifetime.
