Over the last decade, he has travelled extensively in North America and Scandinavia and his images are distributed by several national and European picture libraries. He runs photography holidays both in Scotland and abroad and writes illustrated features for magazines and periodicals on a wide range of wildlife-related issues such as nature-based tourism and ecological restoration.
