I was at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh to photograph one of the first guided tours of the newly renovated Palm Houses. The group were among the first to see the results of this major restoration, part of the Garden's ambitious Edinburgh Biomes project. The A-listed Georgian and Victorian glasshouses had been closed since 2022 for a complete overhaul of their crumbling stonework, rusting ironwork and fragile glazing, and the transformation is stunning. The tour included s

Had this fun shoot yesterday with the brilliant Hamish Hawk and the team from the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Hamish is launching his album, a Book Festival-commissioned tribute to Ivor Cutler. ‘Life in a Scotch Sitting Room’ has stories and songs rooted in his Edinburgh childhood, woven with the timeless eccentric brilliance of Cutler. We really made a cosy home for ourselves at the top of Calton Hill with a mobile “Scotch sitting room” setup!

I recently worked with the National Galleries of Scotland marketing team on two PR photography shoots promoting their Friends membership, Gallery of Stars and legacy giving programmes. For the membership shoot, I photographed models in situations that bring the scheme to life, showing how Friends enjoy benefits like unlimited free entry to exhibitions, discounts in the gallery shops and cafes, and access to exclusive events. These images will be used across the Galleries' mar

I headed down to Finiflex recording studio in Leith to shoot portraits for Aegon's Money:Mindshift podcast. The podcast is hosted by Dr. Thomas Mathar, a behavioural economics expert and author, and it's all about shifting people's mindset around money, tackling the taboos and making financial wellbeing more accessible and human. We captured Dr. Tom in action during a recording session and grabbed some portraits for use across Aegon's marketing. It was really nice to get to k

I recently shot PR photography for the National Galleries of Scotland at their exhibition Alfred Buckham: Daredevil Photographer at the Portrait Gallery on Queen Street. Buckham was a remarkable figure, a pioneer of aerial photography who captured some of the most iconic images of early 20th century Scotland from the open cockpits of biplanes. He survived nine crashes, had his larynx removed after a serious injury, and still went back up. His darkroom work was equally extrao

Delighted to have made this video promoting an event for Worldwide Cancer Research held at The Edinburgh Grand. It was the launch of their Discovery Series , a programme focused on funding early-stage cancer research all over the world. I was privileged to be part of the evening, capturing moments of connection and networking which are vital in raising the funding for this important charity. It was inspiring to hear more about how they help fund projects into prevention, diag

Yesterday I was back at Edinburgh Futures Institute to do some PR shots marking the Edinburgh International Book Festival's brochure launch, a lovely chance to see Jenny Niven again and to hear about the plans for this year’s programme as we worked. I am really looking forward to seeing it all come to life in August!

I had the pleasure of photographing the Traverse Theatre’s Fringe 2025 launch event, where they revealed an incredible line up of shows. The Traverse always delivers variety and quality during the festival and this year is no exception. Highlights include She’s Behind You with Johnny McKnight directed by John Tiffany, Standing in the Shadows of Giants by Lucie Barât directed by Bryony Shanahan, the Scottish premiere of The Beautiful Future is Coming , and the return of Gary

I had the pleasure of photographing and filming an interview with James Brining, the new Artistic Director of the Lyceum Theatre, as he takes over from David Greig. Over the past 11 years I’ve had the chance to work with three of the Lyceum’s artistic directors and it is always a privilege to work for the theatre. We managed to capture a lot in one shoot, exploring locations inside the building and even heading up onto the rooftop with Edinburgh Castle as our backdrop. The po

I shot a portrait of Gary McNair, writer-performer of A Gambler’s Guide To Dying , for the Traverse. We met at the Lauriston Bar in Glasgow, a place suspended in time, with wood paneling, old leather chairs and a feel like walking into a bar in the 70s. A fantastic location for capturing character and atmosphere. A Gambler’s Guide To Dying is Gary’s award winning solo show about his grandad, who won a fortune betting on the 1966 World Cup and then gambled it all on living lon

I had the pleasure of photographing Jenny Niven, Director of the Edinburgh International Book Festival. The shoot took place at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, the festival’s new home, and the aim was to create a versatile portrait for use across their communications. Jenny was a dream to work with and it was great to have a few hours with her to find locations and the perfect light on location. Special thanks to Sarah Drummond from Premier for all her support on the day.

As part of a commission with Nuclear Restoration Services I was asked to document some of the community projects they support. I visited Lochshore Park Hub, a newly built community centre in Beith, where volunteers are involved in gardening, landscaping, litter picking, creating woodland walks and pathways and running projects that encourage biodiversity. I captured candids and environmental portraits of the groups for use in communications by both NRS and the Hub. The volunt

As part of a commission with Nuclear Restoration Services I was asked to document some of the community projects they support. I visited Ayrshire College to photograph their training department where young people are developing skills in decorating, plumbing, carpentry and other trades. I captured candids and environmental portraits of the groups for use in communications by both NRS and Ayrshire College. The students and staff were very welcoming and I thank them for all the

I just wrapped a studio shoot for She’s Behind You with the Traverse marketing team. I spent a few hours at the National Theatre of Scotland HQ Rockvilla in Glasgow setting up a mobile studio to capture the infinite facial expressions of the hilarious Johnny McKnight. Thanks to Traverse for putting together such a fun commission to make camp and eye catching shots for the Fringe poster. She’s Behind You is written and performed by Johnny McKnight and directed by John Tiffan
