Having picked my camera back up again in 2009, I have a renewed hunger for pursuing this incredible medium. I am hoping to get to grips with perfecting my landscape photography, as well as pursuing my passion for Light Painting and macro photography (hello to all the 'Little People'!).

I studied at the Glasgow School of Art from 1997-2001 where I specialised in Fine Art Photography under the leadership of some great tutors including Vaughan Judge and Professor Thomas Joshua Cooper. They were truly inspirational figures, and I feel incredibly privileged to have been taught by them.

I moved from Glasgow to live on the beautiful island of Guernsey (Channel Islands) in late 2001, returning to live back in Scotland again in late 2015.

In 2009 I decided that I just had to get back to my photography having taken ~ 8 years off to pursue other goals. How time flies! After experimenting with long exposure photography for several months I started to push the boundaries further each time I went out on my night shoots, finally introducing light to my images in the guise of 'light painting' or 'light graffiti'. This is by far the most expressive way I have ever encountered of using my photography to create work that has my own style injected into it. There are many other light painters out there, each with their own style and way of doing things, several of which have really inspired me to press on with my photography after so many years away from it.

I now have a website that I try my best to keep up to date: www.DavidGilliver.com

I have recently added an E-book on Light Painting to my website (July 2014) which I hope many people will find extremely useful. It was an absolute joy to write!

I am very excited about where this journey takes me in the coming years. It has been a thoroughly enjoyable ride so far, and I don't want it to stop any time soon.
