Nicole Caldwell

October 06, 2017 in Blog, Music, Editorial

You may have seen Nicole Caldwell belting out "Purple Rain" on the X-Factor recently. I've been a fan of her voice ever since I've heard her perform with Soul Nation Choir a few years ago. Being able to finally work with Nicole on her very first photoshoot as a solo artist was a great opportunity. And a lot of fun! The brief was "bohemian/hippie/natural" so off we went last month to Mugdock Country Park (one of my favourite places to shoot) with Caroline Stewart on makeup duties and spent an evening walking about, laughing and talking nonsense. Oh yes, and we took some photos too. Enjoy!

PS. Big thanks to David for all the help!

Sandie Robertson

September 11, 2017 in Blog, Editorial, Portrait, Lifestyle, Fashion

Sandie Robertson is a trainer and wellness coach whom I photographed several times in the past years. Gearing up for another photo shoot earlier this summer, Sandie decided to go beyond the usual headshot/portrait photos we had done in the past - the ever-brilliant I'll Be Your Mirror was asked to help with styling the session and Ingliston Country Club in Bishopton was chosen for its location. Given Sandie's background in all things equestrian (both as a show jumper and now as an equestrian confidence and performance coach) and her past career as a model it all made sense. Results below:

Photography: Kris Kesiak
Styling: I'll Be Your Mirror
Hair & Make Up: Caroline McKeirnan
Clothes: Finery, Whistles, Jaeger, Chloé, Jigsaw, The Kooples, Kurt Geiger

Mark Angels

March 21, 2017 in Blog, Portrait, Music

Mark Angels is a Scottish singer/songwriter I've known for some time and have photographed on numerous occasions (performing with Soul Nation Choir for example). You may know him better as one of the contestants on BBC's recent talent show, Let It Shine where he sang and danced his way all the way to the finals as part of the band Drive. Mark is a brilliant singer and a truly amazing performer so when I was asked to do some promo shots for him at the end of last year we agreed that we would try to capture that vibe and energy in the photos. Big thanks to John at The Gray Room for being helpful and Sarah Kesson for assistance.

Happy New Year!

Bye bye 2016! And what a year it's been - seems like the world turned upside down these past 12 months and nothing will ever be the same. Let's hope for a less mental year ahead! Here are some of my favourite shots taken in 2016:
