ABOUT ME

Hello, I’m Scott

PET AND LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHER

FROM GLASGOW, SCOTLAND

Photography has always been a part of my life. It began with a childhood love for animals – especially our family dog – and grew into a passion for capturing the beauty of the natural world.

Today, I combine those two passions, photographing beloved pets in the stunning landscapes of Scotland, alongside the wildlife and scenery that make this country so extraordinary.

The passion I grew for photography from an early age, capturing moments, having household pets and my love for these wonderful wee creatures led me to my formal studies, where I graduated in Photography, having developed deeper knowledge of the techniques, creativity and art behind the lens. Towards the end of my studies I was honoured to receive an ‘Advanced Category Craftex Award’ for my photography of the red squirrel, a proud important achievement and milestone in my photographic journey.

Part of that development which assisted me winning my Craftex award was the opportunity to learn new techniques thanks to professional wildlife photographer, Neil McIntyre. His vast experience and guidance gave me a whole new perspective for the patience, sounds, observation and knowledge of the subjects required to capture wildlife and the natural world.

Learning from a professional photographer elevated my perspective which gave me encouragement and confidence to keep developing my own skills and creative approach. Each subject I learned from and experiences helped shape the photographer I am today. I strive for better to produce a high standard as those standards were drilled into me in my learning process regardless of whether it is photographing pets or Scotland’s majestic landscapes.

If I can capture moments that mean the world to people and pass on the knowledge I have learned, it is mission accomplished, as I know what it means to people having grew up with pets myself.

Photography is a lot more more than just capturing fancy pictures, I learned it’s about capturing a story, moments that are meaningful that people can treasure for years to come.
