~ PEAK PERSEVERANCE ~

Mountain-based around the Isle of Skye, "Peak Perseverance" is my journey into the Cuillin where I'll document the process of shooting Victorian wet plate collodion photographs of the stunning, yet brutal landscapes. The main objective of this project is to raise awareness and inspire positivity surrounding mental health and recovery.
