“This personal project is aimed at trying to capture the essence of what made me take up photography as a kid. When I was young and growing up in Scotland, I would often hop on a train with my bike, head out into the wilderness and cycle back to another station and head home. The wilder the place the better. When cycling through this landscape I really began to appreciate the light and the colours and how they constantly changed. This is what led me to photography in the first place, and what I’m trying to achieve with these images is a show the drama and scale of the landscape that I used to cycle through.”
