On this website I offer prints, canvases and digital downloads of the best photos I took during my 6 years as resident on Islay and the business I was working under was "Island Light Photography".

A Memorable Islay Walk
Some walks we made during our time on Islay will always stay with me and the ones that do usually involved the west coast, wildlife and a perfectly sunny warm day.
