Solitude

Rattray Head Lighthouse rises from a softened sea, isolated beneath a vast and shifting sky. The long exposure reduces the landscape to quiet tones and simple forms, emphasizing stillness, distance, and the quiet persistence of a solitary presence along the Aberdeenshire coastline.

About Artist

Gordy J Mackay

Based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, I began my photography joyrney in 2021 and work primarily in architectural, seascape and fine art black-and-white photography. Much of my work is shaped by the Scottish coastline, with a particular focus on Aberdeenshire, where changing light, weather and form play a central role. Architectural subjects are explored wherever location allows, drawing attention to structure, geometry and contrast across a range of built environments
