Lifestyle Photography for Waterfront Private Hospital

Waterfront Private Hospital is a modern, consultant-led private healthcare facility located in Granton, Edinburgh, overlooking the Firth of Forth. Established in September 2023 by renowned plastic surgeons Dr. Awf and Dr. Omar Quaba, the hospital specializes in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, dermatology, hand surgery, urology, and non-surgical cosmetic treatments.

I was approached by Holyrood PR last year to produce a series of lifestyle image for the hospital, showcasing their facilities as well as staff. The brief asked for warm, friendly, bright, professional. We shot over 2 days in Edinburgh and you can see a selection of these images below:

Lifestyle Photoshoot with Yogi Siobhan Fitzgerald

Siobhan Fitzgerald is a yoga therapist who specialises in breath work. She saw some of the photography work I did a few years back for Our World Yoga and got in touch to see if I’d be interested in working with her. We met for coffee this summer, got on like a house on fire (shared Madonna obsession helped) and ended up scheduling a date for the shoot. The session took place last month in the Merchant City Yoga studio as well as outdoors in the surrounding areas. Siobhan wanted the images to be bright and airy so that’s what we went for. See some examples below.

Photographing Mela Festival at Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Park.

The Glasgow Mela is Scotland's biggest free multicultural festival of music, dance, and arts held annually at Kelvingrove Park. This year it took place on Sunday, June 23rd, it attracted some 40,000 people and I was there to capture the event for Glasgow Life. Honestly, this was such a joy to photograph and I hope the images below convey that.

Studio Floor Fashion Film

in , ,

Studio Floor is the collaboration between Christopher McEvoy and Siobhan McKenna exploring couture-making and craft techniques in waste reduction. I was asked to produce a short film to accompany the project and the truly stunning exhibition that goes along with it (currently running at The Pyramid in Anderston till Saturday 29 April 2023 - should definitely check it out). The shoot took place in late March in the Trades Hall of Glasgow in Merchant City. Have a look at the video below:
