Double Take Projections at COP26

I’ve got something different for you this time - i.e. no mug shots of anyone! As much as I love portraiture, the reality of being a self-employed, working photographer is that you grab job opportunities from all kinds of sources. This was definitely the case with this project - I’ve never done anything like that before but I ended up thoroughly enjoying it.

Double Take Projections is a brilliant company specialising in projection mapping. A mutual client of ours (Skypark) recommended me to them during COP26 when they needed a last-minute photographer to cover their guerrilla work with Scottish environmental artist Elizabeth Ogilvie. We spent a chilly, yet immensely fun evening driving around Glasgow, eating pizza and gummy bears, and projecting Elizabeth’s beautiful films onto various buildings. My job was to document it and here are some images from that night:

Paul Hodgkiss Designs

Working with Paul Hodgkiss. Photographing designs by Paul Hodgkiss truly isn't a difficult task. His beautiful, unique, hand-crafted furniture pieces with variety of curves and textures are as photogenic as house fittings can get. Having captured Paul's design work at such places as The Meat Bar, Palomino and Bowmore Hotel I was commissioned to photograph his stunning, newly open showroom in Glasgow's South Side as well as the workshop where the original pieces take shape:
