Personal Work

One of my ongoing personal photography projects is "Glasgow Through Rainy Windows" (working title). Here's a few recent images, taken with a Canon compact camera I always carry. I was sitting at traffic lights at the time.


And here's a favourite wedding venue image from last year. It's the House for an Art Lover over at Bellahouston Park, Glasgow. It was taken on a Nikon D3 with the wonderful 14-24mm f2.8 lens.


Thanks for looking.
