Behind The Lens: The Legacy of a Highland news photographer - tribute to Gary Anthony

As the man behind the lens for Highland News & Media, Gary captured moments of history in the making, recorded people's triumphs and tragedies and observed day-to-day life, often working to a tight deadline but managing to bring an artistry to his images.

Gary, who was passionate about his craft, was intrinsically linked to the community through his work whether it was having a ringside seat as a dramatic event unfolded such as a blazing building, or capturing the action at sporting events.

Let us know your thoughts and memories of any of the images in our series by emailing newsdesk@hnmedia.co.uk.
