A high-contrast black and white photograph of the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry "Isle of Islay" passing by a stone pier. The large vessel dominates the mid-ground, featuring its name and the "Caledonian MacBrayne" company branding on its dark hull. The ship has a white upper deck with rows of circular portholes and a funnel marked with a lion rampant logo. In the foreground, a dark, textured stone pier is lined with vintage-style lampposts and low bollards connected by chains, casting long shadows. The water is calm, and a distant, hilly coastline is visible under a sky filled with soft, scattered clouds. The monochrome edit emphasizes the dramatic lighting and the industrial details of the ferry against the natural landscape.

Running a business on your own can be challenging at times.

Today feels like a good day to say that I'm proud of what I've built. And I'm proud to be part of a community of women who are out there doing the same.

Happy International Women's Day.

A high-contrast, black and white photograph of a quiet shopping mall interior. The scene is dominated by dramatic, geometric shadows cast across the tiled floor from a vaulted glass ceiling above. The light creates sharp, alternating patterns of bright white and deep black, stretching toward the viewer. On the right, storefronts with large glass windows and signs like "Superdrug" are visible, while the left side features dark silhouettes of mall fixtures and a gumball machine. The perspective is a long, symmetrical view down the corridor, leading to a brighter area in the distance. The overall mood is architectural, stark, and empty.

A new look to my website. I’ll be adding a shop soon so you can buy signed prints, books and zines direct rather than emailing me.

A high-contrast, black-and-white photograph captured from a low angle, showing three silhouetted figures standing on a wide set of outdoor steps next to a modern building. One figure is positioned behind a professional video camera on a tripod, appearing to film the other two individuals who are standing together in conversation. To the right, the glass facade of a contemporary building reflects the light, with a balcony visible on an upper floor. In the background, a calm body of water stretches toward a distant shoreline with rolling hills under a vast, bright sky filled with scattered, fluffy clouds. A dark chain-link fence runs along the water's edge to the left. The composition is minimalist and moody, emphasizing the silhouettes against the bright, expansive landscape.

A monochrome photograph of the interior of a narrow bus station with floor-to-ceiling windows. On the left, the glass doors to the parking bays have large numerals applied to their centres. The afternoon sun casts shadows of the numbers 4, 3, and 2 onto the tiled floor. On the right, three people await transportation: a standing man looks into the lens, and two people (one sitting on the floor) stare into handheld devices.

A high-contrast, black and white photograph captured from an elevated perspective behind a dark, out-of-focus metal railing with a spherical finial. In the middle ground, a kayaker in dark gear navigates turbulent, churning whitewater. The kayaker is mid-stroke, holding a paddle aloft as the small boat is partially submerged by frothing waves. The background shows a wider expanse of the dark, textured river and a low weir where the water cascades down, creating a line of white foam across the upper third of the frame. The composition uses a shallow depth of field, emphasizing the intensity of the water and the lone kayaker against the dark, rippling surface of the river.

A high-contrast, black and white photograph of the interior of the Dumfries railway station waiting room at night, viewed through a window. The scene is moody and atmospheric, with deep shadows and sharp highlights. A row of empty, modern metal benches runs along the bottom left, partially illuminated by light streaming in from a large window at the far end of the narrow room. The right wall is adorned with several framed pictures of varying sizes, their glass surfaces catching reflections. A large reflection on the right foreground window shows the station platform and lights outside, creating a layered, translucent effect. The composition is linear, leading the eye down the dark corridor toward the bright window at the end, which reveals a glimpse of the station's architecture and outdoor lighting.
