WILDLIGHT: EMERGENCE I’m delighted to share that this image will be part of the Macro 2026 digital exhibition at The Glasgow Gallery of Photography this April. This black and white image of a luna moth is from Wildlight: Emergence — a fine art series exploring butterflies in monochrome, where colour is stripped away to highlight detail, form, and the quiet beauty of these often overlooked species. It’s a real pleasure to have work included in this exhibition, and especially to be exhibiting in Glasgow for the first time. Special thanks to the team at Landmark Forest Adventure Park for their support during the creation of Wildlight: Emergence. 📍 The Glasgow Gallery of Photography 📅 2–30 April 2026 #macrophotography #wildlight #blackandwhitephotography #scottishphotographer #theglasgowgalleryofphotography @theglasgowgalleryofphotography @ffordesphoto @landmarkparkuk @canonuk @shimodauk @benrouk @sgtphotos_

SCOTTISH NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS 2025 I’m really pleased to share that I had two images shortlisted in the Scottish Nature Photography Awards 2025. One image was shortlisted in the Scottish Wildlife Behaviour category, and another in the Scottish Wildlife Portrait category. A great competition to be part of — and always inspiring to see the standard of work each year. Congratulations to all involved. ⸻ #wildlifephotography #scottishwildlife #naturephotography #scottishphotographer #scottishnaturephotographyawards

GOLDEN EAGLE AT GOLDEN HOUR One of the most unforgettable wildlife encounters I’ve ever had. After hours of waiting in bitter cold, wind, and rain, this incredible bird finally returned — and just as the sky behind us began to glow. Seeing a golden eagle this close is rare, and photographs don’t come close to showing the true scale and power of them. When the light aligned too, it felt like everything clicked into place, as it fed naturally on a road-killed fox. Taken in Dumfries & Galloway at @scottish_photography_hides , run by @alanmcfadyen — huge thanks to Alan for the opportunity and guidance. I couldn’t have made this image without you. A standalone moment, and one I won’t forget anytime soon. ⸻ #goldeneagle #wildlifephotography #scottishwildlife #naturephotography #britishwildlifephotography

MOUNTAIN HARE Then there were three. A snowy day in the hills, with deep wet snow, tired legs, and moments like this that made it all worth it. Part of my ongoing Wildlight project, with many more to come from this day. Huge thanks to @ins.wildlife for guiding me to these incredible animals and helping make this image possible — couldn’t have done it without you.

WILDLIGHT: ABOVE GROUND A moment I never expected to witness. A badger climbing and pausing among the branches. Captured last year during a close encounter, revealing an unusual side of a familiar animal. This image forms part of Wildlight and is currently on display at @ffordesphoto With thanks to @alanmcfadyen for his support and to those who continue to support and shape my journey. #badger #outdoorphotographermagazine #fineartwildlife #scottishwildlife #britishwildlife

WILDLIGHT: EMERGENCE Emergence is the first sub-project within Wildlight - a series of black-and-white fine art photographs focusing on butterflies. Often seen as symbols of transformation, grace, and freedom, these creatures are reimagined here in monochrome, where colour is stripped away to highlight detail, contrast, the intricate patterns of their wings, and a quiet strength often overlooked. Created for a woman’s only exhibition, “It’s About Time”, the series reflects the idea of growth, change, and self-definition — themes deeply tied to both the natural life cycle of the butterfly and the evolving voice of the artist. Through a considered use of light, shadow, and form, Emergence invites viewers to pause, observe, and connect with these fleeting moments of beauty and becoming. The exhibition is now open at Eden court theatre 27th of October- 27th of November There will also be a “meet the artist” event on the 2nd of November 6:30pm-8:30pm at Eden court, it would be lovely to see you all there! A massive thank you to Landmark Forest Adventure Park and its team. Their support and access to the butterfly house were essential for me to complete my project. The team was incredibly helpful and full of knowledge. A big thank you to @lynnfraserphotography and @mairi_macaulay for curating this exhibition and to @flowphotofest, the LVII collective and everyone else involved! @highlandprintstudio for print all of my images for this exhibition. for more information regarding this project, please check out my website. #blackandwhite #wildlight #butterflies #exhibition #canon #photography #photographer #scottishphotographer #scottishphotography #womensonly #itsabouttime #edencourttheatre #ffords #macro #macrophotography #outdoorphotographermagazine #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhitephotographymag

WILDLIGHT Exciting news! I’m so happy to finally share the launch of my new long-term photography project: Wildlight. Wildlight is an ongoing body of black-and-white fine art wildlife photography. It’s a project close to my heart, created to explore wildlife in a different way — stripping away colour to focus on light, form, and the quiet presence of animals in nature. The first sub-project, Emergence, will debut soon as part of a women-only exhibition, It’s About Time, present by LVII. With more series to follow in the future. This is just the beginning of a journey I’ve been working on for some time, and I’m excited to finally bring it into the world. Just want to take this opportunity to give everyone a big thanks that have supported me and helped me along the way! Really appreciate everybody has help and support. Big thanks too @rhys_campbell @roddymckenzie @flowphotofest @alanmcfadyen @highlandprintstudio @ins.wildlife @ffordesphoto, my parents, Gordon ,everyone in LVII collective and many others. Thank you for following along — I can’t wait to share more with you. to find out more about this project, please check out my website links in bio.

RED KITES This image of two red kites fighting over food, captured in a split-second moment above me. The image was taken in Dumfries and Galloway on one of my recent visits. I was shooting handheld and honestly thought I’d missed it—but when I got home from my trip, I found this image amongst many other attempts. #RedKite #redkitephotography #BirdsOfPrey #NatureInFocus #BirdsInFlight #UKWildlife #RaptorPhotography #WildScotland #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifephotographybird #wildlifephoto #wildlifephotograper #bird #birds_captures #scottishwildlife #scottishwildlifephotography #scottishbirds #scottishphotographer #scotland #scotlandwildlife #scotlandwildlifephotography #canon #canonr3 #canon100500rf #shimodadesigns #benro #ffords #outdoorphotomag

KINGFISHER I’ve been holding onto this image for a while! It’s one of my favorite kingfisher photos and ranks among my top ten wildlife images. Now that spring is definitely here, I thought I would share something bright and lively to celebrate the season. I couldn’t think of a better subject for this than a kingfisher! #kingfisher #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifephotographybird #wildlifephoto #wildlifephotograper #bird #birds_captures #scottishwildlife #scottishwildlifephotography #scottishbirds #scottishphotographer #scotland #scotlandwildlife #scotlandwildlifephotography #canon #canonr3 #canon100500rf #shimodadesigns #benro #ffords #outdoorphotomag
