Cairngorm Framer As a Scholar James' interests were in the creative side such as art & design, wood and metalwork. These tendencies led him into a joinery apprenticeship where he got involved with many building projects. The creative side took him more into cabinet making and finishing work. The photography side is a similarly creative notion which came to the fore on a 10 month trip to Australia and new Zealand at the age of 23. His first SLR camera , a Canon AE1 Program was bought while there. On his return James started taking local scenes, getting prints made, and then framing them in his workshop.Pressures of work and family put this fairly much on the back burner for almost 20 more years until the lure became too much to resist. The challenge of combining elements of nature, with light and timing is addictive. Getting out of bed not long after getting into it, to then head out in dark, sometimes wet conditions is often rewarded with spectacular lighting conditions as the day breaks.The workshop of today is more technical. From the capture of the 21mp SLR camera through to the archival inkjet printing process and finally to the framing bench for the finishing touch. These framed and canvas style images are beautifully presented and now proudly owned by many. He is totally self taught through experience& experimentation and James has now produced a fine portfolio of predominantly local landscapes which are displayed at many Galleries and retail outlets in the area. He has also produced work for various publications, Books & websites. A selection of this member's work is shown below - click to view a larger image in a new browser window.

Bruce Davies I am an avid hillwalker and took to photography to record great days out in the hills and then became interested in photography in general. If I hadn’t had an engineering career, I would have wanted to be a carpenter and have enjoyed making a range of things over recent years from wooden maps, pyrographic shapes and small bits of furniture, most recently an artist’s easel for our grand daughter.

Gill Williams Photography and Art, Ian Williams Artist Gill After a 30 year career in the police as a police diver, Gill retired to the Isle of Skye with her husband Ian and took up photography, specialising in landscape, aurora and underwater photography. Her first love is art though, which she enjoyed before joining the police. Originally specialising in pastels and watercolours she now focuses on oils in tiny miniature as she loves detail. In 2023 she had two pieces accepted by the Royal Society of Miniature Artists for their summer exhibition in London. Her photographs are all printed on aluminium and her miniature paintings are on brown clam shells and ceramic alumina. Gill is now looking forward to basing her photography in the Cairngorms and producing more miniature paintings from them. Ian Ian Williams BA(Hons) completed a fine art degree in 2001 and relocated to the Highlands of Scotland. He resided with his wife Gill on the beautiful Isle of Skye for 22 years where he responded to the wild life and extraordinary landscapes and unique geology. Ian works with clay and wood. He also uses watercolours, oils, acrylics paints and inks. Ian has had several books published, an illustrated and two fantasy novels. Both Ian and his wife Gill have worked for several decades with international and local charities raising in the region of £600,000. They continue to assist. Ian and Gill have had many years of enjoying and responding to the natural beauty of the Cairngorms National Park and at the end of 2023 they relocated to the Cairngorms National Park, in particular within the Abernethy Forest. It is the intention to continue producing art including pottery, paintings and sculptures.’ A selection of this member's work is shown below - click to view a larger image in a new browser window.
