Extra large abstract photograph of sailing yachts in navy blue and white. Title : Midsummer in the Minch This listing is for the canvas version but it is also available as a fine art print on beautiful museum quality paper. Please just ask if you prefer paper. This image was made on the glorious evening of Midsummer last year. Midsummer is the day when the day light is at it's longest for the entire year. The Midsummer in the Minch race from Portree to Gairloch is a yearly event and a difficult course taking the yachts up around the Shiants, small islands in The Minch, a wild stretch of water between Skye and the Outer Hebrides. In a flurry of white sails and whipped dark blue sea they set off. I created the image as a single shot in the camera, moving the camera as I worked to catch the momentum and excitement of the start of the race. They turned about in Portree Harbour for some time before the line up and as soon as the starter gun rang out the four yachts shot past the yellow marker and out to open water below the cliffs. As viewers, we raced along the clifftops to catch glimpses of the yachts as they sped along the Sound of Raasay on the East coast of the Isle of Skye, losing them just as they headed out into the Minch in the late evening sunshine. About My Work I use luxury papers and canvas materials that hold their colours for a lifetime! I do all my own printing, having spent years learning this skill I prefer to maintain control of the colour representation at all stages to ensure you get a truly handmade image. About My Materials People often say that my images look like paintings because of the richness of the colours, the depth of the black and the texture of the materials I use. Other Sizes I am happy to take custom orders, just drop me a line. Framing Options If you would like advice on framing please let me know. A Note on Canvases Canvases are unframed and unmounted, they need to be stretched or framed once you get them. They are matte varnished and come with 1.5 - 2inch (4-5cm) border gallery wrap as standard. This means that the image will continue round the sides once it is stretched on a frame. You can request another colour if you prefer plain coloured sides. Once ready, the canvas or print is carefully wrapped in acid free tissue then shipped in a sturdy art tube to ensure safe delivery.

As a professional photographer I travel often to the islands of northern Scotland to make my images in places that provoke a profound emotional reaction. The colours, the textures, the wildness of the places and the history are all intertwined in a fascinating, and often bewildering melting pot of sensation that forces me to make art. After moving many times to get to where I should be, I now live on top of a cliff at the northern end of the Isle of Skye. Skye is a large and very beautiful island in the far north of Scotland; a place of inspiration, myth and legend. The beauty of the landscape draws artists and walkers, photographers and lovers of Nature like a magnet, and I am likewise smitten. Skye has a ruggedness and intense green hills that would make anyone pick up a camera or a paintbrush. My work has moved through variations on a theme of movement and colour. Whether the camera moves or I move or the landscape moves it is all the same. Colours, moving blending and soaking into one another create a sense of playfulness, the feeling you get when the wind is in your hair on a bright sunny day. More and more I wonder if there is any end to how one can capture the colours, the lines and the essence of a place. In my studio today, the bright green Hill of the Red Fox is shrouded in a light mist, the wind is howling and the clouds are moving quickly across the hills. It is a scene that makes my heart sing. I hope my work conveys some of the joy I feel when I see these colours, the harmony and the wind singing through it all. It is at least a quest that, hopefully, will last a lifetime.
