I contacted Morag and asked her what it was about Dumfries & Galloway that inspired them to work here and discovered a kindred spirit.
"Having lived in Dumfries and Galloway for nearly twenty years it feels more like home to me than anywhere else I’ve lived. Its spectacular beauty and unspoilt terrain offer a rich vein of inspiration to the many folk who pursue creative and artistic endeavours here, whether they are native to the region or have settled more recently - unable to resist the bewitching landscape, cultural offerings and warm hospitality on offer.
Working
collaboratively with my husband, Ted Leeming, much of our work has been created
in the region, using both traditional and impressionist photographic techniques. Whilst we are not always treated to
clement weather conditions, the quality of light delivers ample opportunity for
experimentation and exploration as well as classic image capture. This, combined with the ability to
wander the countryside in relative solitude - unusual in an area of such
abundant beauty – feeds our creativity on a daily basis and we count ourselves
lucky to live here."
You can see their work by visiting their studio in Dumfries and Galloway by appointment or attend one of their workshops. They offer a full range of landscape photography courses across Scotland including one-to-one tuition and group workshops.

Riverview Lodge (www.holidaycottagekippford.co.uk) or Millbrae House (www.millbraehouse.co.uk) would make an ideal base for your stay as, as can be seen from the shot above, Kippford and Rockcliffe offer great inspiration for the photographer.
