Barbra Kolasinski

Barbra Kolasinski is a luxury Scottish womenswear brand - her stuff is beautiful, colourful and unique. She’s also a friend of mine - we met on a shoot a while back and hit it off. I love her use of colour and textures in her work and wanted to photograph her for some time. We finally made it happen this summer - check out some of the images below.

Govanhill Baths Editorial

Govanhill Baths is an Edwardian public bathhouse which opened in Glasgow in 1917 and earlier this year students from West College of Scotland took it over for a one-day fashion photography workshop organised by photographer and lecturer Lauren Stirling. Govanhill Baths is such an amazing space - I photographed a musical there a few years ago (I know, how random!) and always wanted to come back and use it for something more editorial. I'd given a couple of photography talks at West College of Scotland on behalf of Bridge 2 Business in the past and was more than happy to come along to the workshop to give my 2 cents as well as take some photos of my own, especially once I've learned where it was taking place. Thanks to Lauren Stirling for the invitation and West College of Scotland students for help and donuts!
