Mists and Mountains: A Journey Through the Scottish Highlands
This gallery showcases the beauty of the Scottish Highlands, with its raw natural splendor, untamed wilderness, and rich cultural heritage. This is the place where rugged landscapes meet serene lochs. You can feel the ancient history in the mist-covered glens. Take a visual journey through rolling hills, natural streams, and tranquil valleys resonating with the tales of clans and kings.
Wildlife Wonders: A Global Glimpse
Venture into the astounding world of wildlife, captured through my travels throughout the country and across the globe. This gallery presents a diverse range of animals each telling a unique story about life on our planet. Most of these photos were captured when I traveled to create landscapes. The animals happened to be in the landscapes I was photographing – and that tells us something. They are part of it. They say something about it. They, in some ways, define it. I hope you enjoy the gallery of photos I never planned to create.
Paris: The City of Light in Focus
Paris gets its own collection, and rightfully so. The City of Light has everything. As a tourist – and especially as a photographer – you’ll be drawn by the grand monuments and museums. Soon, however, you’ll shift your focus to the lifestyle and café culture. There’s a reason this city has inspired artists and writers for centuries. Enjoy a visual journey through the iconic landmarks and hidden gems alike.
Big City Nights Collection
Big City Nights is a collection of images from my explorations of various cities around the world during the nighttime hours. What started as a way to get out and photograph after the workday was done and after the family was settled in for the night, turned into a way to create images with high impact. The scenes lend themselves to bright colors and high contrast, which I work to draw out to create a high-impact visual centerpiece for your home or office.

Perspectives 2020: Ireland Collection
There is little about Ireland that doesn’t invoke feelings of awe and amazement. The windswept cliffs on the remote western coast. The ruins of ancient monasteries and castles. The history steeped in never-ending tragedy. Come with us on the winding backroads to explore these ancient places. The magic of the Emerald Isle will pull you back again and again.
Coastlines Collection
While all people can be inspired by the scale and power of the ocean, it is perhaps in those of us that live in land-locked places that the coast truly invokes strong feelings. It might be through the raw power of a huge wave crashing into a rocky coast. Or it might be the restfulness of a sunset at a sandy beach. The varied nature and constantly changing environment create scenes that inspire us to consider the bigger picture.
World Travels Collection
The world is full of extraordinary places. They bring out the best in us, creating a sense of awe and wonder. These are the results of my travels, where I seek out some of the world’s greatest landscapes and man-made structures and then create meaningful photos so you can be inspired by these places every day.
