Alan's photography originates from a never-ending curiosity and fascination with the ability of the world to excite the senses and heighten the emotions. He embraces the mood and the spirit of the world - its ferocity or tranquility, its beauty or wildness - to create work that represents his response to its essence.

Whether his photographic palette provides the subtle and transient passing of softened light over hazy seas or the intensely vibrant radiance illuminating soaring pinnacles, Alan creates work with an emotional intensity and energy that speaks eloquently of his passion for the environment.

The inspiration behind many of the photographs derives directly from the extraordinary landscape and quality of light in North West Scotland and Alan's home on the Isle of Skye where the intensity of the natural elements can often overwhelm the senses. This inspiration allied with considerable technical competence and wonderful aesthetic judgment forms the foundation for such compelling photographs.
