About David Gillanders
By the age of 15 he was out of school and working as a carpenter/cabinet maker, which is a trade that still gives him occasional work and pleasure today.
In 1990David married Kirsty and they live in Glasgow with their sons Cameron Jack who’s nine and Brodie Mac who’s seven.
10 years later photography had taken over his life and his day job had become an obstruction. With great support and encouragement from those close to him, David gave up his career to try and make photography the main focus in life.
He says he have never once looked back and consider himself to be the luckiest person he know.
