Welcome to Lochore Photography.

My passion for photography has been part of my life for many years, although my professional journey began in a very different field.

For over 30 years, I worked in the defence industry as an electronics engineer, developing a career built around technology, precision, problem-solving and attention to detail. These qualities have remained an important part of how I approach photography today.

Alongside my engineering career, I developed my passion for photography into a profession. For around eight years, I created and run a business as a professional photographer, shooting weddings, portaiture, events, sport, corporate and industrial. This gave me the opportunity to work in a wide variety of environments and, most importantly, taught me to recognise those moments when light, timing and composition come together. During this period I also extended into website design and development, combining my technical background with my creative side.

Now retired, I have returned to photography with renewed enthusiasm. Lochore Photography is the result of bringing together my experience, creativity and lifelong passion for creating images.

Today, my photography is particularly inspired by landscapes, nature, wildlife and travel, with a strong emphasis on light, atmosphere and the character of a place. I enjoy looking for something a little different, the fleeting moment, unusual perspective or beautiful light that can transform an ordinary scene into something memorable.

For me, photography is about more than simply taking a picture. It is about seeing the moment, understanding the light and creating an image that tells a story.

Thank you for visiting Lochore Photography. I hope you enjoy exploring my work as much as I enjoy creating it.
