“By reducing the art of photography to its essence, and explaining in simple English how my digital camera could best be taken advantage of, I found myself looking through the lens with a new found inspiration and the confidence to nail the images I dream of capturing. Glen powerfully demonstrated that even the most advanced equipment is just a tool that will only work with sound knowledge off the basic principles of photography. “ Tim Cope – National Geographic Adventure Honoree 2007 -  Australian Adventurer of the year 2006

After living in Australia for 12 years and co leading workshops there for 5 years , Glen returned home to the Highland Capital of Inverness with his wife and young family in May 2009 and established Lightstalkers Scotland.
