Indy '25

PORTRAIT SESSION WITH INDY IN MUGDOCK PARK

I photographed Indy back in 2019 in a studio setting. When he reached out earlier this year with the idea to collaborate again, we decided to go in a different direction this time and shot outdoors, in the ever-faithful Mugdock Park. See a few of my favourite images from the day below:

Merchant City Festival 2024

DOCUMENTING GLASGOW’S MERCHANT CITY FESTIVAL 2024

The Merchant City Festival 2025 is just around the corner and I’ll be photographing it again this year so I thought now would be the perfect time to share some of last year’s images.

The 2024 outing took place from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 July in Glasgow’s Merchant City district. Over the weekend, around 35,000 people enjoyed free outdoor arts and circus performances, interactive theatre, family ceilidhs, puppet shows, and science activities. There were daily markets, international street food, and evening live music. It was all very colourful and a joy to photograph. See some of the 2024 images below:

Waterfront Private Hospital

Lifestyle Photography for Waterfront Private Hospital

Waterfront Private Hospital is a modern, consultant-led private healthcare facility located in Granton, Edinburgh, overlooking the Firth of Forth. Established in September 2023 by renowned plastic surgeons Dr. Awf and Dr. Omar Quaba, the hospital specializes in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, dermatology, hand surgery, urology, and non-surgical cosmetic treatments.

I was approached by Holyrood PR last year to produce a series of lifestyle image for the hospital, showcasing their facilities as well as staff. The brief asked for warm, friendly, bright, professional. We shot over 2 days in Edinburgh and you can see a selection of these images below:

Horse on the Roof

Photographing Horse McDonald on the roof of the Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow

I’ve worked with Horse for many years now and photographed her in all sorts of venues and locations, from Strachur to St. Cyrus Beach, from the Panopticon to Theatre Royal, the Barrowlands Ballroom to Scottish National Portrait Gallery. I could go on. However, I’d never had the pleasure of photographing her singing live on the rooftop of one of Glasgow’s most iconic venues. To be fair, nobody has ever been allowed to perform on the roof of the Pavilion Theatre before, and given the amount of health and safety-related paperwork involved, I doubt anyone will ever again. The stunt took place earlier this month and was promoting Horse’s live gig at the Pavilion Theatre (the proper seated bit this time). The concert took place last Friday, and you can find a few images from both events below.
