    Jay loves working with clients to capture their stories. Since the days of film photography, she had a passion to tell stories. This has grown into not only working as a professional photographer but also as a photography tutor.

    To her, passing on skills and knowledge to others who love photography to get the best out of themselves and their equipment is a joy. It's first and foremost about helping people improve by only competing with themselves to get better and enjoy their photography journey more. So tell her what your passion in photography is and she'll help on the way to amazing images.

    It was supposed to be the night with the Perseids. Unfortunately, when I arrived at the place, it turned out that the sky was very cloudy, and there would be no chance to "falling stars" photographing. Fortunately, the light over Stonehaven spread in the clouds gave them a beautiful color over Dunnottar Castle. I couldn't go to home without capturing this view. The photo shown is one of several I took there.
