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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for visiting Lochore Photography. I hope you enjoy exploring my work as much as I enjoy creating it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neil Dawson<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Lochore Photography.
