His presentation was titled ‘Inspired – My creative influences shaped my own world’. Amongst other topics, it included his travels to the stunning Karakoram Mountains in Pakistan, his British Airways commissions together with the creative images in his ground breaking documentary book , Fragile – Birds, Eggs and Habitats. Later in the evening he gave members a preview into his current ongoing Scottish landscape project.
