Alex Boyd has made images of Scottish landscapes using a process invented more than 170 years ago.

Following his work in Ireland, Alex was offered a Royal Scottish Academy residency in Skye.

His photography on the island include images made from Sgurr na Stri and Bruach na Frithe in Skye's Cuillin hills. Locations in the Highlands, Ayrshire and the Western Isles have also been the focus of Alex's work, with his wife and his Royal Marine commando brother helping with the hard work of lugging heavy camera gear into the different landscapes.

He says: "Developing and making pictures in the landscape is kind of incredible because the pictures very much react to the landscape itself. "I have made images in Glen Etive which have midgies stuck in them because the collodion is like syrup. Other images have bits of grass stuck to them."Alex's collodion photographs from the last 10 years have been published in a new book, The Point of Deliverance.
