Working from Glasgow and bases on the West Coast of Scotland, Gordon is a married, Scottish, father of two creative, determined but uniquely different (now adult) children. A career change paved the way to nourish a lifelong interest in photography, formalising his education and learning new techniques and applications. On successful completion of an HND in photography at college in Glasgow, he continued to develop professional theory and practice completing a BA in Professional Photography in Edinburgh. Having a new found and avid interest in theory and the social aspects of photography Gordon decided to pursue further postgraduate learning in Art and Social Practice at the University of Highlands and Islands.
With a keenness to engage and participate across genres of photography Gordons experience is wide, undertaking projects from single product shoots through to social documentary project based work. Engagement and collaboration is at the heart of his work, commencing every project with openness and taking an organic approach allowing room for development and creating genuine outcomes. A dialogical process forms part of Gordons approach and successfully brings a conversational interpretation and natural development.
Gordon is ardently interested in the environment, animals and wildlife and these themes feature heavily in his personal and private photography, taking every possible opportunity to spend time in nature. Continuing to read avidly and widely.
