Happy Halloween! Yesterday I had a great time capturing Jen | Ear Piercing Scotland as Maleficent in the Necropolis in Glasgow and here are a few of my favourite images from the shoot 📸

A big thanks to Jen for asking me to do this really fun shoot!

How do you see the world?

This was an interesting question that came up during a walk in Glasgow with fellow photographer / F.D.Young Photography - Natural Wedding Photography that we both brought our cameras to yesterday.

It was fascinating seeing how we both saw different photography potential from the same buildings and spaces, and that’s what makes the world an interesting place to live! That you can hand a camera to two different photographers capturing the same spaces and they will both come back with different images.

Photography is about your way of seeing the world, your perspective on things. My images have always been full of colour, and that’s the point I start from and build my images around.

With that in mind, here’s a few colourful shots I grabbed of Fraser from our walk yesterday around Barras Market BAaD - Barras Art & Design and Glasgow Green 📸

I’M BACK! After a lovely break, I’m ready to get right back behind the camera 📸

This was the last shoot I did before I went off, for Soilleir Candles and I wanted to use materials that help evoke the scent of the candles through the images. I used freshly cut oranges and fresh lavender for the Suain-Chadal candle on the blue background, and freshly cut oranges with some fresh coffee beans for the Sóghalachd candle against the red background. Honestly, the studio was beautifully pungent in the best way during this shoot, and I hope you’re able to get a sense of how wonderfully fragrant these candles are through the images. I now have one in my home and it’s the perfect way to keep your house cosy as we start to head into the Autumn months.

I’m also now ready to help you with any imagery needs you might have as we move into the final few months of the year. Drop me a DM here or email me at [email protected] 📸

Final images from my colourful and creative shoot with Haylz 💞 📸🎨

We put our all into these images, with so much powder paint being used and three hours of clean up being needed after. But I’m so beyond thrilled with the shots we got, big thanks to Hayley!

Third post from my colourful shoot with Haylz 💞 and I wanted this one to have its own standalone moment 📸🎨

Hayley and I both put our all into getting these shots, and it needed three hours of clean-up afterwards so I’d be grateful for any engagement on this post 🫶

We used colour powder paint to get this image and I really love the pose and expression here, big thanks to Hayley!

Set two from my colourful shoot with Haylz 💞 🎨📸

We had so much fun taking these images (and from my side it was a lot of trial and error to make sure I captured the paint correctly!)

Big thanks to Hayley for supporting my creative madness and helping to get these great shots! What do you think of them? Let us know in the comments below 👇

🎨 COLOUR EXPLOSION 💥

The first of a few posts with some epic shots from last week at Simple Arts with Haylz 💞

For this shoot we used powder paints and caught the movement of the paint under studio lights. I was inspired after seeing a similar shoot by KDM Photography and I wanted to create my own version of their epic shots 💥🤯

We both put our all into these shots and it needed three hours of cleanup afterwards (😮‍💨) so all love on this post would be hugely appreciated 🙏

Really excited to share that my images of .cb have been published in the latest edition of Selin Magazine

This was a creative collaboration that saw 李盈岚 ‘s incredible outfit design brought together with Cammy Ross MUA ‘s incomparable makeup skills and I captured the final images, working together with the team to agree lighting and poses.

Thrilled that these images have been picked up and published.
