Environmental portraits on the Isle of Skye and the landscape which surrounds them

​​

Growing up on the Isle of Skye I was surrounded by beautiful wilderness and community spirit. Taking advantage of capturing this rural beauty has greatly increased my appreciation of my own surroundings on the island.

​

From the age of ten I have worked aboard the MV Glenachulish between Skye and mainland Scotland. Working on board this vessel we meet hundreds of passengers a day and this increased my interest in people and how every person has a story to tell. Which lead to the start of photographing Skye community faces, along with their stories.

​

The Talamh agus Anam project- also inspired by my father's images of rural communities in the Himalayas- I wanted to make people aware of the rural communities in the highlands and to combine the community faces with the landscapes that encompass them.
