ABOUT

SPACE / DETAIL / PEOPLE / PLACE

I am a Scottish photographer based in the New Jersey / New York City area, available for commissions and collaborative projects throughout the United States and the UK.

My practice is rooted in a deep sensitivity to place, familiar and unfamiliar and is driven by an ongoing exploration of spaces in transition and the subtle interplay between environment and human presence.

At the heart of my work is a desire to document, interpret, and respond to the world as it unfolds around me. I approach photography both literally and experimentally, employing a range of techniques to create images that observe and reimagine the everyday. Whether capturing the shifting character of urban development or the quiet moments hidden in plain sight, I am drawn to the unnoticed, the fleeting, in-between and liminal.

Past and current projects focus on large-scale developments, capturing their evolving landscapes before construction and progress reshape their physical and cultural identities. These images act as visual records, both historical and emotional, of spaces on the verge of transformation. My process is intuitive and often guided by spontaneity and the unexpected. I seek out moments of stillness and isolation: a shadow cast on concrete, a solitary object out of place, a trace of human absence or presence.

These works are studies in silence, fragments of isolation and reflections on the spaces themselves. They offer a visual pause—an invitation to consider the layers of meaning in environments often overlooked.
