WELCOME:
Duncan Shaw is a 46 year old stock photographer based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, close to the Cairngorm mountains, who specialises in wildlife, nature, landscape and environmental photography.
After growing up on Dartmoor, in north Wiltshire, and in the Yorkshire Dales, he studied geography and zoology at Aberdeen University, before working offshore for twenty years in the North Sea oil industry.
As well as having a passion for wildlife from an early age, Duncan comes from a mountaineering background.
In his twenties he spent several summers in the Alps, solo-climbing Mont Blanc and other high peaks, as well as roughing it in Arctic Norway, the Pyrenees and the USA, and has climbed, skiid, camped, and walked throughout the Scottish Highlands all his adult life.
This background gives him an easy familiarity with remote and wild places, and a profound contentment in their wildlife, weather and landscapes.
Duncan's photographic work is sold worldwide, both directly and through the following stock libraries:

"...these stones are at one with the stars.
It makes no difference to them whether they are high or low,
Mountain peak or ocean floor, palace, or pigsty.
There are plenty of ruined buildings in the world but no ruined stones."
-------------------------------------------------
Hugh MacDiarmid: "On a Raised Beach".
" Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of --
High in the sunlit silence.
John Magee: "High Flight".
