James S Gardiner

James Gardiner is a fine art photographer, living on the Greek island of Crete. For many years he photographed the magnificent wild beauty of his native Scotland and now enjoys living on the south coast of Crete where the coastline is one of the most beautiful in Europe. The rugged beauty and unspoilt nature of this area provides endless inspiration and a pace of life which allows the mind to soar.
