My contribution to Scottish Surfing:

I am photographer and filmmaker based in Glasgow, from Dumfries & Galloway. Specialising in documentary work and have traveled the world capturing musicians, theatre and wildlife.

I started surfing while studying in Australia. After arriving home, a few years past before the decision was made to commit to surfing in the cold winters of Scotland and to actively make an effort to try and improve… Still trying! Surfing has allowed me to explore my home country and appreciate it even more so with the incredible waves and friendly community. It’s an escape where I can truly switch off and be in the moment.
