In 2007 I ran a photography project for Highland 2007 that was wide reaching and diverse. From Shetland in the North to Argyll & Bute, the Western Isles to Moray in the East, 52 people were selected to document a week in their lives - a photo for every day. They were given digital Canon SLRs and told to shoot whatever they wanted...These 365 images formed a visual diary or portrait of what life is like in the Highlands & Islands in the 21st century. Participants included a mix of well known Highland personalities, such as chart topping DJ Mylo from Skye, World Curling Champion Ewan MacDonald from Inverness, the Academy award winning actress Tilda Swinton from Nairn, as well as some less known faces. All provided their unique insight into Highland & Island life. Alongside this were portraits of all the participants themselves, all shot on traditional monochrome film using a Mamiya medium format camera. These portraits are touring throughout 2009-2010 to various locations with all 365 images taken by the participants themselves.

To accompany this, a limited edition book has been made and is available to buy online or at venues as the tour progresses
