Portrait shoot with Crawford Mack

I met Crawford Mack a few years ago when a friend took me to see him live at the legendary King Tuts in Glasgow. I didn’t know much about him but as it turns out, he’s a very talented singer/songwriter with great stage presence. We chatted briefly after the gig and I left thinking it would be great to work together at some point. The opportunity came about last year when Crawford got in touch to get some new promo shots done. We spent a couple of hours at Basement49 and below are some of my favourite images from that session:

Heidi Talbot - Grace Untold

PHOTOGRAPHY, ARTWORK & VIDEO FOR HEIDI TALBOT’S NEW ALBUM

Grace Untold is the new album from Irish singer-songwriter Heidi Talbot. I met Heidi on a shoot with Boo Hewerdine in February 2024, although I’d been wanting to photograph her for a long time. Heidi and I got along brilliantly, sharing our love of music and yoga, and I guess that shoot with Boo went well as I was asked to create visuals to promote Heidi’s new release, Grace Untold, an album inspired by and dedicated to Irish women, warriors and goddesses. I shot the album cover, filmed and produced the video EPK and designed the CD and Vinyl packaging. See all of that and more below:

PORTRAIT SESSION WITH INDY IN MUGDOCK PARK

I photographed Indy back in 2019 in a studio setting. When he reached out earlier this year with the idea to collaborate again, we decided to go in a different direction this time and shot outdoors, in the ever-faithful Mugdock Park. See a few of my favourite images from the day below:

Merchant City Festival 2024

DOCUMENTING GLASGOW’S MERCHANT CITY FESTIVAL 2024

The Merchant City Festival 2025 is just around the corner and I’ll be photographing it again this year so I thought now would be the perfect time to share some of last year’s images.

The 2024 outing took place from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 July in Glasgow’s Merchant City district. Over the weekend, around 35,000 people enjoyed free outdoor arts and circus performances, interactive theatre, family ceilidhs, puppet shows, and science activities. There were daily markets, international street food, and evening live music. It was all very colourful and a joy to photograph. See some of the 2024 images below:
