Photography

I'm a part-time professional photographer specialising in tree, forest and landscape photography. My images have featured in magazines, books, merchandising, and global advertising. I also take photographs for use in my books, such as the 600+ images for The Forest Guide series, and the images for the RSPB Trees of the British Isles.

About my tree photography

My images have been selected for various competitions, exhibitions, publications, and products including:

Luxury skincare brand Temple Spa - marketing campaign

AramcoWorld – feature

Royal Photographic Society (RPS) - national touring exhibition 2025

Scottish Nature Photography Awards 2014 – shortlisted image

TREE PHOTOGRAPHY – TECHNICAL ASPECTS:

I work with medium format equipment to create very high quality images to suit a wide range of commercial applications, printing and for exhibitions. For book fieldwork I tend to shoot with micro four thirds (MFT) equipment using Panasonic Lumix photography equipment as I find this highly portable, especially when working in remote locations. The small and lightweight format means it's possible to carry a camera body and several lenses on a long trek, along with other hiking gear.

I always capture in RAW format and post-process my images using Adobe Lightroom.

As a professional forester and chartered environmentalist, I offer substantial knowledge and understanding in the way that I capture and describe my images. I always record the species of tree in my photographs and make detailed notes about habitat, landscape, and associated biodiversity.
