One of the most prominent mountain groups in Scotland are the great peaks of Torridon, which gives its name to a geological series. In Pre-Cambrian times, the underlying bedrock of Lewisian gneisses were overlaid by Torridonian sandstones. These hard deposits withstood millennia of weathering and erosion, becoming many of the upstanding mountains of North West Scotland. In the foreground, near Diabeg, an icy lochan is surrounded by Deer grass.
Ian is a self-taught full time professional landscape photographer with over twenty three years of experience. Apart from his own very popular range of Transient Light Scottish landscape calendars and range of Fine Art cards. Ian published his first book of landscape photography – Transient Light – through GMC publications in association with the Guild of Master craftsmen, it’s popularity leading to a second edition of his work.
“Scotland is one of the finest locations in the world to pursue high quality landscape images, it’s light and weather creating unique opportunities even after repeat visits”. Although he has travelled extensively the majority of his work is confined to Scotland where he finds an endless source of pleasure and inspiration.
The hallmark of Ian’s work is his articulate composition, subtle processing and delicate handling of natural light to produce outstandingly natural images of scenes that would otherwise be passed by in favour of more dramatic topography.
