Ed’s photographic career began in 2006 whilst travelling with his camera as a white-water kayaker; industry magazines and manufacturers purchased Ed’s images for their content and advertising. He has since gone on to establish himself as a professional adventure sports and landscape photographer. From sleeping in snow holes and skiing alpine couloirs to adventure races and kayaking some of the world’s finest white-water, Ed has been amongst it all with his camera.
Ed’s work has been a selected winner and shortlisted in numerous photographic awards. A regular contributor to outdoor publications Ed has also been widely published in the broader media; from UK magazines to numerous international titles and online media such as the BBC, RedBull and National Geographic Traveller magazine. Amongst others, clients such as Rab, Scarpa, Schoeffel, Bridgedale Socks, Red Paddle Co, Comic Relief and Glenmore Lodge entrust Ed with their photographic requirements.
Formerly ranked amongst the world’s leading white-water kayakers Ed is proficient across the spectrum of adventure sports. In his spare time he gets stuck into his own adventures whether that be by kayak, bike, ski, climb or run. But he is rarely spotted without his camera.
Ed is also the owner and curator of Eleven41 Gallery, a photographic gallery dedicated to mountain landscapes and the outdoors, in the town of Kingussie within the Cairngorms National Park.
