Malcolm MacGregor
is a landscape photographer, based in Scotland, who specialises in photographing
the more remote regions of the world. He has travelled to many countries
on assignment including Afghanistan, Africa, Asia, Georgia, the Balkans,
Brittany, Iceland and the Hebridean islands of Scotland.
But it is to Oman that he returns
time and time again. In fact his photographic life has very much been
tied up with Oman over the past ten years.
In 2000 he began photographing for his
book 'Wilderness Oman' made over a two year period tapping into the eclectic
mix of desert, mountain and coastal landscapes. His genre is wilderness
landscape photography, searching out aspects of nature that are unusual
and off the beaten track.
Since then he has returned almost on a yearly basis, in pursuit of Omani light. He has witnessed many golden moments where mountains and coastline are tra1nsformed by the rising sun for a few brief moments, before the light becomes too harsh. It is this transformative period at dawn and dusk that he tries to capture on camera. He has produced a portfolio 'Light over Oman' and most recently a photographic study comprising some 60 photographs called 'Oman: Eloquence and Eternity'.
His work has been reviewed in many photographic magazines, such as Amateur Photographer and Outdoor Photography, Oman Today and the Oman Daily Observer.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, an Associate of the British Institute for Professional Photography and is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
