Cove Bay near Hopeman on the Moray coast of North-east Scotland. The geology here consists of an ancient basement of metamorphic rocks, then unconformably overlain by Old Red Sandstone sediments of the Devonian Period. Younger sediments, Permo-Triassic and Jurassic, are found along the coast, with Cretaceous rocks found only as ice-carried boulders and pebbles. This inlet was quarried at some point, but the growth of vegetation since has made it look almost natural.
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.
