A little bit more…

Graham is an award winning photographer and surgeon based in Glasgow, Scotland. Having grown up on the North Sea coast in the small village of Golspie, and with a house beside the beach, his love for the outdoors is perhaps not surprising.

While always a Highlander at heart, studies took him south to Glasgow, finally settling as a consultant at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. The combination of science and craft which led to a career in surgery are also the same aspects which attracted him to the art of photography.

Graham now takes every opportunity to explore the coasts, islands and hills of Scotland. Although often drawn back to the Highlands, and in particular the west coast, he does occasionally venture further afield.

Graham’s aim in photographing the places he visits is to try to capture some of the atmosphere and character of the landscape. His approach has been recognised in national awards as well as news and magazine publications. He has also exhibited work in galleries around Scotland.
