Sunday Herald fashion spread

Just recently completed this collaboration with professional photographer Mark Mainz ( << click for link to Mark's powerful portfolio ) for the Sunday herald newspaper. I work with mark often on conceptual shoots that I composite and retouch, but this was the first time I have had my landscape work included as part of the image and I am more than pleased with the result. I had to overlay Marks strong model shots seamlessly into my image of the Balvraid hills and I feel that the two harmonise really well together to add more power to the resulting spread. ;)

Luing

First time on the isle of Luing, was up for two nights recently to do an interior shoot for friends, the lovley Grant and Julie,  for their website as they are going to eventually let the cottage. It was the home of Grants grandfather and family who worked the adjacent slate quarries in Cullipool. The area is rich with the history of the industry and made for and exiting, if bracing, foray for pictures.

Chuffed tae bits!

I just recently received word from the 'Landscape photographer of the year competition' and I am delighted to say that two of my images have been given awards. My picture of St Michaels mount has been 'highly commended' in the 'living the view' category ( and will be made into postcards as part of a selection pack ) and my picture of the old stone bridge at the Hermitage, Dunkeld has been 'commended' in the 'classic view' category by the panel of Judges including Landscape photographer Charlie Waite, both will be on exhibit and in the book, considering the thousands of entries they receive each year I am so chuffed by this result. ; )
