ABOUT ME

I’m a shy though loquacious, youthfully middle-aged, Scottish Varsovian street photographer. I teach photography, most recently at Akademickie Liceum Ogólnokształcące (PJATK) in Warsaw. I photograph for SOPA Images, and I write for Shoot It With Film, and occasionally on 35mmc.

Described by the British Academy of Photography as a prodigious talent, and by critics as a surrealist at heart with an eye for irony and amusing little moments, I spend my days walking the streets looking for the unexpected, as well as the unconventional, and the contradictory.

I have shown exhibitions at the National Scottish Football Museum, the Edinburgh International Arts Festival, – both in Scotland – and in Warsaw, Poland.

My work has been published on the BBC and in the Guardian, Vanity Fair, Der Tagesspiegel, the Glasgow Herald, the Reykjavik Grapevine, the Big Issue, the Skinny, and the List among others.

I am an alumnus of the Magnum Professional Practices series and have also completed masterclasses with Magnum photographers Richard Kalvar and Bruce Gilden, in Paris and London respectively.
