Before that, I studied fine art photography at Edinburgh College of Art and then taught the technical aspects of photography there between 1999 and 2004. I offer portrait, product, and lifestyle photography to the editorial and commercial markets. I also offer corporate photography and carry out a range of personal photography projects.<\/p>\n
Career highlights include winning multiple international photography awards including the National Portrait Gallery’s Photographic Prize. In 2007 I was commissioned to take a portrait of Sir David Attenborough, a portrait which is now part of their permanent collection.<\/p>\n
I pride myself on the high standard of imagery I produce for my clients, from the planning stages to final image optimisation and delivery. I’m passionate about image-making and am equally adept in the studio or on location.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve always loved photography. It\u2019s been a passion of mine since I was 16 years old. I knew then that I wanted to become a professional photographer and make photography a part of my day-to-day life.
\nWhy do I love it? It’s a very effective, creative tool for expressing yourself and creating a permanent record of your life, significant events, and people. I love the variety of my work and enjoy experiencing different situations and environments, meeting interesting people on a daily basis, and creating wonderful opportunities to travel.
\nAfter graduating with an Honours degree in Photography, I was lucky enough to realise my dream
\nand turn my passion into a rewarding career. For the past 18 years, I\u2019ve been commissioned at home and abroad by many household brands such as Sony, Land Rover, eBay, Emirates, and Marks & Spencer, working in a wide variety of photography fields including:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Still Life
\n\u2022 Product
\n\u2022 Advertising
\n\u2022 Editorial
\n\u2022 Brand
\n\u2022 Corporate Headshots
\n\u2022 Lifestyle
\n\u2022 Portraits<\/p>\n
If you want to update the visual direction or brand identity of your well-established business, you need fresh, original, and professional photographs of the highest quality taken by an expert to reflect that new direction and elevate your brand even further.
\nHigh-quality images will firmly establish your already successful business as an inspirational and
\naspirational leader in your field. Any photographer you commission will bring their own aesthetic style, technical methods, and overall look to your brand photographs.
\nA new vision will be attached to your imagery that has a stamp, however subtle, that comes from
\nthat photographer. Therefore, who you choose as your professional photographer will have a direct impact on how your brand is presented.<\/p>\n
I personally pride myself on a diligent and conscientious approach to my art.
\nPaying meticulous attention to detail, I will listen carefully to what you want as a client and can stick to a brief.
\nAt the same time, I\u2019ll add into the mix years of experience, technical expertise and my own creativity and input to every project.
\nThe final product then becomes a perfect blend of your prescribed planned ideas with my creative input, resulting in images that we can both be proud of.<\/p>\n
