PHOTOGRAPHY
Jim was a double semi-finalist
in the 2006 BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition, a semi-finalist in the 2007 competition and a
quadruple semi-finalist and finalist in the 2008 competition. This
follows on from similar success as a youth entrant in 1990. His photographs cover a range of subjects but
the mountains and wildlife of the world's wilder regions, particularly the Himalayas and the Scottish Highlands,
are his favourites. Jim works as a freelance photographer, covering everything from weddings to business
websites. He provides many of the photographs for Trailblazer guidebooks.
Jim is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. He lives in Knoydart, a remote peninsula on the west coast of Scotland, accessible only by boat or a two-day walk from the nearest road. When he's not busy with writing and photography projects, he works as a ranger for the Knoydart Foundation, the community organisation who own and manage the estate.
