Dog Digital

There are several interesting things about this particular shoot but none more so than the fact these images were taken late February in Glasgow - scroll down, have a look and call me a liar, I won’t blame you. But it was full on sun, clear blue skies, the works. Sometimes you just get lucky (or it’s global warming). Either way, the shoot was for Dog Digital, an award winning marketing agency based in Glasgow’s city centre. They were looking for portrait images of some members of their team and wanted a contemporary, urban feel with the city of Glasgow as the backdrop. The challenge was to feature the city but without making it too obvious so we focused on lines, textures and angles. Kirsty and Stuart from I’ll Be Your Mirror were in charge of styling the shoot (and, as ever, were a dream to work with) and Beccy Goldinger took care of hair and make up. The shoot was long and took 3 days to complete but it was actually very relaxed and fun. It’s always easy when you work with nice people. Check some of the images below:

Eunice for Scottish Woman

I photographed model and broadcaster Eunice Olumide for the first time last year and we recently collaborated again when I was asked to photograph her for the cover of Scottish Woman Magazine. We shot it on a rather windy and chilly April afternoon on Portobello Beach in Edinburgh (although I really shouldn’t complain - I wasn’t the one running around barefoot in dresses!). Eunice put together a truly stellar team for this and you can check the results below:

Sandie Robertson

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:

Electric Waterfalls

My very first shoot this year was a blast! I met singer/songwriter Caroline Gilmour in 2014 and we collaborated then on her Paper Planes release. We got together again in January this year to shoot cover and promo images for her brand new EP Electric Waterfalls (released this month). Vivienne Masters was in charge of styling the shoot and Caroline Stewart did wonders with hair and make up:
