Sometimes all it takes is one small decision to send you in a completely different direction.
For me, it was buying a camera nearly two years ago. After a bit of a rough patch, I started heading out into the Scottish landscape simply to get creative again. I wasn't trying to start a business, I just wanted to enjoy making something.
I originally studied graphic design, but nine years ago I stepped away from the industry to explore my own creative outlets. Since then I've illustrated posters, carved, moulded, painted and finished handmade fishing lures, and designed logos for some great people along the way.
Photography has always been part of my life too. I still spend much of my working week photographing whisky bottles for a retailer. Getting back out with a camera in my own time reminded me how much I enjoyed photographing everything else.
Not long after that, someone asked if I'd photograph a wedding. It was for a friend of a friend, it was last minute, and I thought, "Why not?" Since then I've photographed more weddings, properties and other projects alongside my day job.
I'm still happiest out with a camera exploring the west coast, but it's been brilliant seeing where photography has taken me over the last couple of years. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.
If you've been following along for a while, thank you. It really does mean a lot. And if you're new here, welcome.
