Simon Riddell

Simon is a darkroom photographer based in the Scottish Highlands. He has had various vocations such including a bricklayer's labourer, steeplejack, lifeguard trainer and firefighter. He now works as a professional photographer. Simon admits to being a little unhinged and mad. He had geared up his education and life to join the Armed Forces. Two weeks after being accepted for basic training he nearly died due to extreme diabetic ketoacidosis and was then diagnosed with diabetes. He doesn't let that stop him from pushing himself, his photography and scaling rocks. In 2018, Simon met fellow film photographer, David Allen, for the first time. Since then they have started producing films on their Photography-based adventures.
