ABOUT ME
I am a Scottish Varsovian, a musician, a teacher, and, a photographer.
With the exception of a brief couple of years flirtation with piano, since 15 years old, if I didn’t have a guitar in my hands, I had a camera.
In 2006, I left music behind for a 4 year stint as a part-time jobbing photographer, and aspiring photojournalist.
Music pulled me back in, eventually, but I never left photography behind and have been taking photos steadily since. In 2018, I began teaching photography at the Akademickie Liceum Ogólnokształcące przy PJATK in Warsaw.
In the lockdown of 2020, I revisited my hard-drives and negatives to kick off this website with two portfolio collections, “People, mostly”, and “Places, mostly”.
Looking forward, I’ll post other, themed, collections of my photographs both old and new, and will occasionally write a bit about photography on the blog.
I shoot using Leica, Zenit, Lubitel, and Nikon cameras, and the occasional iPhone.
