work in progress
April 24, 2012I have just moved into a new studio which I am doing up at the old Dick Veterinary school, Summerhall by the meadows in Edinburgh. Summerhall is going to be an amazing arts venue with loads of artist studios, two theatres, a bar, a brewery, tv and film production companies are filming there and and and…..
Any way here are some initial pictures of my space, how I found it and some of the way though my work. I’ll post more when its complete.
Workers portraits
April 4, 2012Am sorting old images out and found these portraits from a wee job I did with Phil at Denvir Marketing and managed to persuade the client, Richie Farm machinery up in Forfar, to allow me to do some portraits at the end of the day. More to follow….
Starry night in Mull
March 26, 2012I have just been on Mull for work, I managed to get some time to work on a project that been on my mind for wee while. At the end of my shoot I left the camera up for an extra hour to see what I got from the stars. I think that the bright stripe is either Jupiter or Venus, there was no moon which was good for this image.
Picture of the Day
February 24, 2012I was just having a quick flick through some old pictures and I found this one which made my morning.
British Sign Language course at Heriot Watt University
February 1, 2012I’ve been editing a job I did for the British Sign Language course at Heriot Watt University. This is the first course in the UK at the moment. I really like the images of the hands and the idea of trying to communicate words through simple images.

January 25, 2012I shoot a series of cocktails for Bacardi Brown – Forman Brands the other day, working with the fantastic Ian McLaren. The brief was to make unbranded cocktails that look like we could all make ‘em, I could have drunk them all any way. A small selection:

The National Theatre of Scotland’s first Christmas production – a Christmas Carol
January 24, 2012Before Christmas I was working with the fantastic National Theatre of Scotland once again – this time on their production of A Christmas Carol. It was an amazing production, performed in a purpose-built space.
Not only was it very “intimate” for the audience, but the lighting was, well the critics said “atmospheric”, I say dark. Visually stunning, although very tricky to shoot – but we finally got there. If it ever comes round again, I can only recommend trying to get tickets if you can.
