A life lived around light, tide and sound.

I am a photographer and maker based in Lossiemouth, Moray. My connection with the town goes back to childhood, from visiting family friends in the mid-80s to moving here when my dad took on the fish and chip shop and we lived above it. Much of the coast was first discovered by bicycle.

I bought a second-hand film SLR during my high school years. It gave me a reason to walk, stop, frame things, and notice what I had been passing for years.

Moray Jewel is a place for that attention to live: photographs, films, sound, notes, and the small records that come from being out with the coast. It is still finding its shape, but the centre is simple - light, weather, place, and the feeling of being there.

Music and performance sit close to the photography for me. They come from the same place: timing, feeling, restraint, and knowing when to leave space. The site is slowly becoming a studio archive for all of that, not just a shop.
