Biography
Andy Lock grew up in Dorset, about as far from the Scottish Highlands as it is possible to be in the UK. However, he always yearned for this wild, remote area, travelling north many times in a 1966 split-screen VW camper van with his cameras and photographic equipment.
When he wasn’t on holiday, Andy, who studied at Southampton College of Art, worked for a large marketing company in the south of England, managing its design studio.
But the bright lights weren’t ever going to satisfy Andy and, six years ago, he moved to a house by the banks of Loch Shiel, and came home to Scotland for good. Fortunately, Andy’s wife and three sons love their new surroundings as much as he does and everyone has thrown themselves into local life.
Andy runs workshops for local photographers and visitors, exploring the region through the eye of the camera lens.
His beautiful landscape photographs appear in many publications, and for several years Andy had a regular feature in SCOTS magazine (produced by the SCOTS Heritage Society). He exhibits his images in local galleries.
Andy says: ‘Living in a place like this is a privilege. I want my work to capture this incredible environment, to share it with others who cannot experience it every day.’
