Graham Harris Graham
Graham lived at the famous 16th-century Mercat Cross in the Royal Burgh of Culross, Kingdom of Fife, Scotland.
Educated in Glasgow with a BEng from Strathclyde University, Graham soon began moving around the British Isles where his engineering talents evidenced right off the bat when he found himself in a maintenance manager role for a large British manufacturer at age 21. A few years later Graham project managed the building of the largest paper mill in Europe at the time.
Graham loved spending his spare time outdoors cycling and climbing, and was an experienced mountaineer climbing throughout Scotland, the Spanish Pyrenees, the French Alps and as far away as Kilimanjaro.

Then Graham met his American wife Lora in 2000, and moved to Dallas Texas. By 2001 he’d upped his game and landed his first VP role. But in 2008 his career took Graham into a place no manufacturing executive would ever want to be. It was just 6 weeks after starting his new role as VP of Operations for Imperial Sugar Company that Graham found himself acting as the whistleblower in one of the worst industrial disasters in US history.
After 8 OSHA depositions and an opportunity to speak before the US Senate as a manufacturing expert in the dangers associated with dust, Graham decided to leave manufacturing and follow his passion (photography).
*Imperial Sugar received the 3rd largest fine in US history on the back of the investigation into their safety violations.
Graham had a vision for his photography. Scotland is rich with ancient built heritage and stunning landscapes. So Graham and Lora took the decision to move to Scotland.
Graham purchased 2 digital camera bodies, along with several prime lenses & started to create his portfolio. His goal? To showcase rich, vibrant, 3-D images of Scotland.
In 2016, Graham branded his portfolio Outlander & Beyond & set up his gallery at The Town House; a haunted 17th-century tax office and witch's prison. The building which includes an original courtroom & a debtor's jail as well as his portfolio, has become a well-known destination of choice for visitors from all over the world.
But In March 2021, the unthinkable happened. And Lora found herself announcing Graham’s death from a fall on a mountain in the Scottish Southern Highlands.
Today you will find Graham’s work hanging in doctor’s offices, city art councils and private homes worldwide.
And you can still find Lora at The Town House where she continues to welcome friends old and new to enjoy Graham’s fine art images of Outlander & Beyond.
