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:

Best of 2024

Happy New Year everyone. 2024 marked 10 years since I became a self-employed photographer full-time. I’ve been meaning to write a separate blog about that cause, as you can imagine, there’s a lot to tell but I simply haven’t gotten around to it. It’s on my to-do list! All I will say is that I felt a shift happened this past year in terms of the kind of work that comes my way, the profile of clients I attract and the frequency of jobs. All for the better. One of 2024 highlights for me, was definitely shooting the Celtic Connections festival. I loved working on it and am delighted to be asked to do it again this year (the festival kicks off on January 16). Another high point was working on The Road Less Travelled, the new Horse album - it was a labour of love with a dear friend and I’m proud of it. Below you can find a dozen of my favourite images from the past year.
