After graduating from University with a
degree in English, I started freelancing full time for The
Scotsman newspaper. I spent the next five years there shooting
news and features, including a two-year stint on the picture
desk.
I left the Scotsman in 2001 to freelance
for the newly established Scottish business daily Business
am, where I shot business portraits almost exclusively.
At the same time, I continued to build up a long list of
corporate clients ranging from small businesses to blue-chip
internationals.
After Business am closed in December 2002,
I made the decision to concentrate almost exclusively on
corporate work, including brochures, websites and public
relations photography, while still shooting editorial work
for newspapers, magazines and contract publishers.
While I have been shooting digitally since
2000, last year (2007) was the first year where every single
job was captured digitally.
I met my wife Mary while at university,
and we live in Perthshire with our six-year-old son Jake
and our cats, Bailey and Eisenstaedt.
