I am a professional photographer based in Tokyo. I was born and raised in Scotland, I used to work as a cognitive neuroscientist, but I never really felt like it was me so to speak, so I packed a bag, grabbed my camera and headed to Japan and I began to teach and use all my spare time to take photos. Soon I began selling my work and traveling a lot, mainly in Asia.

My regular clients include Lonely Planet Images and the Japan Times, but I have been published in books, magazines and newspapers around the world. I’ve covered stories from Tokyo fashion week to the rebuilding of Iraq. I’ve been lucky enough to see life as it is and share what I see through me lens with others. Here I hope to share a bit more.
