Simon Riddell took up wet plate collodion photography after a major traumatic event, and he says , ‘it pretty much saved my life.’
Using himself as subject, in his first project, ‘Mental Collodion,’ Simon explored his own mental health and his relationship with anti- depressants in a series of self portraits.
Simon’s photography soon became more than just a hobby, and this year, he used his Spirit of the Highlands commission to capture fellow First Responders at work in East Sutherland.
The Culture Scene joins Simon out and about on the Isle of Skye, where he balances saving lives with capturing the wild beauty of the island in his photographs.
