Isle of Skye - The Quirang is a fascinating rock formation on the Trotternish peninsula on Skye. It is approximately two miles north west of Staffin and six miles south east of Rubha Hunish. The Quiraing is a spectacular landslip on the eastern face of Meall na Suiramach, the northernmost summit of the Trotternish Ridge on the Isle of Skye. The whole of the Trotternish Ridge escarpment was formed by a great series of landslips; the Quiraing is the only part of the slip still moving, the road at its base near Flodigarry requires repairs each year.
The Trotternish Ridge lies on Skye's northernmost peninsula known as Trotternish. The northernmost summit on this ridge is known as the Quirang which has a fantastic maze of pinnacles, cliffs and flat grass tables that were formed by an ancient landslide of biblical proportions. From below these cliffs look huge, upon closer inspection you find many intricacies - scree slopes provide entrances to reveal an intricate maze of deep chasms and huge rock walls.

A solitary figure caught in a narrow beam of light, separated from the surrounding darkness. The contrast between shadow and illumination creates a sense of reflection and isolation, turning an ordinary passing moment into something more contemplative.

About 106 different bird species have stayed in the area for shorter or longer time periods. Over half of the bird population is Icelandic layer birds.

There´s an interesting lesson to be learned from this photo. I had been trying to shoot some photos in the recreational area where I live. The light were wrong for long time exposure, people were in the way of my photos, and when it started raining I called it a day. On my way home, driving my car I spotted this scene. I hit the breaks and stopped in the middle of a crossroad. Since there were cars behind me I only had time for one shot and I had to let it count. And I believe it did. What do you think? Appreciate all input. The lesson I learned which of course is obvious is that the best photos don´t come from planning but from being alert and taking the opportunity when it comes your way.

Eyes closed, heart open, and the world softened by light through the trees.
Some moments are meant to be felt, not spoken.
A natural cave opening frames the ocean as two birds cross the light above the moving water.
The contrast between shadow and sea creates a quiet moment of passage.

Il y a un moment où le mouvement ne tient plus dans le corps. Il déborde, s’échappe, emporte les bras, les jambes, les cheveux, jusqu’à la lumière elle-même! La danse n’est plus une position. Elle devient une force. Quelque chose qui traverse le corps et le pousse au-delà de ses propres limites. Ici, tout semble suspendu entre l’élan et la chute. Et pendant une fraction de seconde, le corps ne danse plus : il s’envole!
EN There comes a moment when movement can no longer be contained by the body. It spills over, escapes, carrying arms, legs, hair, even the light itself with it! Dance is no longer a position. It becomes a force. Something that passes through the body and pushes it beyond its own limits. Here, everything seems suspended between momentum and falling. And for a fraction of a second, the body is no longer dancing: t is flying!

Chasing the Light: A Session with Susanna
Some gazes simply stop you in your tracks. That’s exactly what happened when I first came across Susanna’s profile. Beyond the striking green of her eyes, it was their scale and depth that captivated me. I knew instantly that there was something extraordinary to be captured in her expression.
This session from November 2024 stands out as a highlight. While we were working under studio lights, the overcast sky suddenly broke. Spotting a brief clearing in the clouds, we rushed to a room where I knew the sun could reach.
This series was born from that fleeting, spontaneous moment. I played with the raw sunlight and sharp shadows to sculpt Susanna’s features. The result perfectly mirrors our time together: an authentic connection and that unique gaze that seems to pierce right through the lens.

The little village of Elgol is one of the most photographed parts of the Isle of Skye. Elgol is an increasingly popular destination for climbers and hill walkers of all levels due to its unparalleled access to the famous Cuillin Hills and the various smaller hills dotted around wherever you look. Elgol is a crofting and fishing village in the Strath area of the Island. The small, sparsely populated village is scattered along the final mile of the road from Broadford.
Though you may never have heard of the little fishing and crofting village of Elgol in the Scottish Highlands, there is a good chance that you have seen photos of Elgol's famous mountain and seascape scenery in postcards, Scottish books and even film scenes and television programmes. From the larger Skye village of Broadford many visitors have turned down the enchanting Elgol road completely unaware of the magnificent scenes that await them around almost every corner. The 15 mile journey over twisty single-track roads will take you past High Pastures Cave, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the area, then sweep you around the corner to the ancient, historical site of Kilchrist church
Every mile you drive on your journey from Broadford to Elgol will fool you into thinking that the scenery simply cannot be bettered. However, you will be proved wrong when you arrive in Elgol and reach the shore and the little fishing harbour. There is simply nothing on earth to compare to the site of the Cuillin Hills beyond the Elgol shore - a breathtaking view whether it is sunny or stormy.
There are various opinions as to the meaning of the name, 'Elgol' (or Ealaghol in the native Gaelic, some suggesting 'The Noble Dale' and others 'The Weeping Swan' (folklore details the story of a Viking captain who perished when his longboat named 'The Swan' came to attack the people of Elgol).

a dog pulls eagerly on its leash, its leap appears as if it's being drawn into the light. the man leading it steps half out of the deep shadow into the bright light that spills over the old stonework. the scene speaks of an unexpected discovery, almost as if a hidden moment is dragged into the light. the interplay between light and dark across the rough stones and the smooth street captures the contrast between concealed and revealed moments â the balance of light and shadow, visible and invisible, known and unknown.

What you see here is the coke plant in Duisburg, in this plant they produce cokes that are pre-heated and cooled-down with water before the cokes are transported to the furnace of the steel factory. The black tower in the middle produces enormous clouds (vaporized water).

Walking back down the track after a disappointing, dismal , non productive walk towards Sty head and suddenly the sun burst through the cloud behind us for the first time that afternoon and we dived over the stile into the Lingmell beck and shot away for fifteen minutes .
It made the trip worthwhile after all.

Gi strikes a bold pose under moody, low-key lighting, her silhouette illuminated by a crimson glow that evokes strength and sensuality. The interplay of shadow and red light creates an atmosphere of mystery and allure.
On lui a peut-être expliqué comment se tenir, comment sourire, comment être jolie devant un objectif. Elle a probablement oublié. Il reste les lunettes, les paillettes, une main dans les cheveux et ce regard qui semble demander : et maintenant ?Il y a quelque chose de profondément libérateur à ne pas correspondre exactement à ce qu'on avait prévu pour soi. Elle n'est pas là pour jouer le personnage. Elle est là pour voir ce qu'il se passe quand on arrête de suivre les instructions.
EN Perhaps someone once explained how to stand, how to smile, how to look beautiful in front of a camera. She probably forgot. There are the glasses, the shimmer, one hand in her hair, and that look that seems to ask: now what? There is something deeply liberating about not becoming exactly what was expected of you. She isn't here to play the part. She's here to see what happens when you stop following the instructions.
