Role - DOP / Director

This project sets out to capture life on the mountain across all four seasons, exploring how people engage with the outdoors through walking, skiing, mountain biking, and more. This short Prelude offers a glimpse into a longer-form documentary currently in development — a portrait of Glencoe as both a natural wonder and a working landscape.

The full film will reflect on the impact of climate change, the challenges of variable weather, and the daily operations that keep this unique and beautiful place running. At its heart, it’s about connection: encouraging viewers to engage with nature, appreciate its wellbeing benefits, and consider the importance of preserving our environment for future generations.

Through key scenes told from individual perspectives, we’ll highlight diverse relationships with the mountain. We’ll also step beyond the resort’s borders to explore the more remote and lesser-seen sides of this community mountain — revealing stories that stretch beyond the familiar and into the wild.

My goal is to deliver the best creative imagery and video content possible. Based in the Highlands of Scotland photography, film and image making have been a large part of my life for the last 15 years. It gives me a reason to travel, a opportunity for adventure and way of cataloging life as it passes us by.
