    Taking a break on location on the Isle of Harris -

    The lifestyle of a photographer sounds very romantic, and it is my dream come true. But, there are times when I am knee deep in cold water, times when I have stayed too long on the beach and found the tide coming in behind me, and times when I have travelled five hours each way in snow to a location only to come home frustrated and empty handed. In the words of performance artist Marina Abramovic, 'Don't even ask me why. I do not know, I have no answer to this insane behaviour.' Then there are the days when the romance of photography brings it's rewards. This image was one of those luxury moments. Taken on location on the Isle of Harris at Luskentyre Beach at the south end of the island. The heat (?) of a late February afternoon managed to warm the sand just enough for me to sit and listen to the waves.

    Who says being on location is always tough?

    The deserted beaches of the Isle of Harris, being out on location is not always as tough as it sounds. Some days you might be out there in driving rain, sitting in the car with the windows steaming up waiting for a break in the weather, and others you might be on a beach like this. This is one of the many beaches on the remote and beautiful Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides. The weather this year has been stormy so this was my first trip once the ferry was running again. Harris has to be my favourite destination come rain or sun, the colour of the water is mesmerising and always different depending on the day, but that green, that intense aqua colour, that is just heaven. Sitting alone on the sand and just watching the ripples is heavenly.

    On Display at The Colintraive Hotel

    The Colintraive Hotel is one of those little gems hidden away in a remote corner of Scotland. Close to the ferry to Bute and on the edge of some of the most popular sailing locations it is romantic and cosy. I have a permanent exhibition here in rooms that perfectly set off my work.

    The Black Cuillin

    The Black Cuillin

    This is one of my exhibits from the New York exhibition which got a lot of enthusiasm. In particular the dreamy impressionist style caught people's imagination and I was delighted with the comments it received. It comes in sizes up to 30 inches to make a fantastic statement piece for any room.

    The 2013 Exhibition in New York

    The 2013 Exhibition in New York

    I was lucky enought to be invited to exhibit in New York a couple of years ago which was a lot of fun. The exhibition was mobbed and so busy you could hardly move and the popping of champagne corks added to the merriment. I was delighted with the comments I received, people liked the style and the Scottish theme of my work.

    I love working in my studio especially very early in the morning when the light is soft and beautiful. I have an extremely large printer which produces wonderful pieces. In this image, I am using a special piece of equipment called a Deroller which unfurls the curl in the paper and makes it completely flat for framing. The paper I use is sensitive so it is handled carefully holding only at the sides.
