Welcome to Mountain Photography a virtual gallery for my mountain images. I have been photographing in the mountains now for over 30 years. I started off walking in the Scottish hills and graduated to mountaineering in the French Alps. I expeditioned to Kenya, Nepal and the Karakoram. That was back in the 1980s. Since then I have continued to go ski mountaineering and get off into the hills with occasional ice climbing and rock climbing trips. But always with a camera. And with time the cameras got bigger and bigger. Finally I took a large format Toyo Field camera with me. So the image quality got better as the seriousness of the mountaineering diminished. I have always had an obsession with image quality. In the mountains I shoot in black and white. Whereas for documentary work I tend to shoot in colour. More recently I have worked in digital. Currently my tool of choice is the Nikon D800. A follow on from the seminal D700. There is much discussion about my days in the hills with my cameras in my blog. I do however prefer to take images rather than write about it. So what comes out are the images and the occasional commentary when I get passionate about things. Finally please get in touch if you wish to purchase prints or organise advertising rights.
Enjoy the site.
