Hello friends,

Happy New Year! I hope 2025 was kind to you and that the festivities were whatever you needed them to be.

I've been giving my brain a bit of a break from social media over the last year or so, trying to find the balance between staying engaged with the world whilst giving myself some much-needed processing time. There's lots to tell you about (not least some of the brilliant projects I've been privileged to work on of late) but, while I'm figuring everything out again, here are a few moments of pure nature magic from a recent trip up to Lewis.

Thank you for sticking around, much love to the lot of you, and all the very best for 2026.

Walled gardens to windswept moorlands, stony seafronts to heather-capped hillsides.
Community planting days and signs of symbiosis.

(Turns out I took quiiiite a few photos of plants and such whilst studying horticulture last year. Who'd have thought it?! 👀🍃📷)

Swipe through for a few lovely finds and garden moments from 2024, including highlights from 's Greenbank Garden (Glasgow) & (Arran), the brilliant (Glasgow), and a happy gal graduating in the piddling rain.

Which gardens should I take the camera to this year...? I'd love some new recommendations!

What a treat it was to work with these fine folk last year. I'll do a proper write-up for each of these lovely photoshoots and the artists featured soon, but in the meantime, here's a lush new playlist to start 2025 off properly:

1) 💿 'We Were Told Many Things' from their upcoming EP "Wait". Check out their EP launch on 29th January at !

2) 💿 'Middle Of Hope' as featured in the incredible documentary "Kim Carnie: Out Loud". If you get chance to go and see this film (directed by Maureen MacLeod and produced by ), do not miss it.

3) 💿 'Sidelines' from her debut solo EP "Welcome To My World".

4) 💿 'Stone, Salt & Sky: II. Horizon' from "Stone, Salt & Sky" by the Gaia Duo. Keep an ear out for Katrina's new solo album "Chronicles" which is being released this year on 🎻

5) 💿 'A Terrible Beauty' from the album "Speak Of The Devil".

6) .kitching.author with 💿 'A Long Time Between Sunsets' from the album "Where There's Brass", a musical companion to his excellent new book of the same title (both of which I had the pleasure of putting the artwork together for).

7) 💿 'Too Many Things' from the album "Cosmography".

8) 💿 'Owlets' - while the new album is in its final production stages, check out this gorgeous little live video.

9) 💿 'Into The Ground' from the album "Weathering" (available on Bandcamp).

10) Eleanor Dunsdon & Gregor Black 💿 'Wrong Foot Forward / Drams In The Field' from their 2024 EP "Let No Man".

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope the festivities were whatever you needed them to be.

2024 was certainly something. I learned a bunch of cool stuff about plants, graduated with a HNC in the aforementioned, caught up with some of my very favourite people, worked on lots of lovely projects with lots of lovely folk, explored new places and spent as much time outside as I possibly could. It was a wee bit tough-going in places too, and I'm hugely grateful to numerous wonderful people for making things feel a great deal brighter in those moments. Here's to you all 🥂

I've got approximately one-squillion photos and a multitude of brilliant artists to share with you this year, but I figured I'd start things off with a few beautiful moments from the Isles of Lewis and Arran. It may have been blowing an absolute hoolie while we were up on Lewis for the festivities, but my *goodness* the light was magic.

Much love and all the very best for 2025,

Hello friends, nice to see you 👋🏻 I've been working on cultivating a bit more quiet and processing space for myself of late. If that's something you might need on your timeline today too, these photos are for you 🌱

In other news: between now and Christmas, 100% of the profits from all of the prints in my website shop (link in bio) will be donated to and . It shouldn't be a privilege to be able to find and hold a moment's peace in safety, but it undoubtedly is.

Sending a whole load of love,

Snapshots from Wales. Moments from Borth-y-Gest and Porthmadog, and a somewhat timely reminder from the brilliant 🌱🐛📷

(Need a new garden mantra? Swipe through to the end! Not going to lie, I've been saying this to myself A LOT courtesy of all the mild, damp weather this year... 🐌)

In need of some pure musical joy to watch tonight? Tune into BBC ALBA at 9pm to watch the fantastic Karen Matheson and Skipinnish play a beaut of a concert at Edinburgh Castle!

I had the privilege of photographing it live last week and had the best time bobbing around with my cameras, soaking up the atmosphere whilst well and truly hitting my step count for the day. It's been beautifully filmed by the legends at BEEZR Studios and, should you miss it tonight, you'll be able to catch up with "Skipinnish Aig A' Chaisteal" on BBC iPlayer shortly.

Enjoy! X

P.S. Got a gig / tour / festival photo you need photographed? Get in touch! 📷 I'd love to do more of this.

One of my favourite projects of late involved creating the artwork and album layout for From The Ground, an incredible and thoughtful collaboration between Laura-Beth Salter and Ali Hutton with additional magic from Duncan Lyall, Patsy Reid, Paul Jennings, Kim Carnie and more.

Initial discussions highlighted several key themes, including nature and its impact on mental health, displacement and movement, uprooting and refuge, climate change and the environment. If you've been following my work for a while, you'll likely know that I was both IN and geeking out almost immediately 🌱🖌🌳

I began researching tree lore, with a particular focus on Yew (Taxus baccata, associated with death, rebirth, change and regeneration) and stories of Yggdrasil, the World Tree in Norse mythology (notably said to represent the interconnectedness of all things and the cyclical nature of time, amongst other interpretations).

The cover art was created using layers and layers of texture. These were largely hand-drawn and painted using pencil, inks and acrylic, and some were tinkered-with photos from my personal work archive. Swipe through to see a few of the textures and design assets created for this project! ➡️

The fantastic moody portrait on image 6 in this carousel, onto which the main tree illustration has been overlaid, was taken by Howler Monkey Media .

"From The Ground" is available to purchase and listen to on Bandcamp now!

Fancy working together? I'm currently accepting new album artwork commissions and would love to hear what you've been creating ❤️
