Child of the Scottish Enlightenment who grew up in Edinburgh. Since getting my hands on a camera aged 12 in my native Scotland, I have travelled the world taking photographs. Now based in Liverpool, 2008 European Capital of Culture, working for commercial, corporate and media clients as well as carrying out longer-term projects on subjects as diverse as Scotland’s last salmon net fishermen, the river Mersey and ‘Amazon Footprints’ – a journey along Brazil’s Highway 163. This last project was exhibited in Liverpool and raised fund to purchase a boat and books for schoolchildren in a remote Amazonian community.
