Baby photography: Tracy’s twins
We had a maternity photo session with Tracy to photograph her bump at the end of May. This is small sample of the images from the follow-up where I visited Tracy at their home in East Kilbride to photograph the twin baby boys. Of course it's possible to bring babies...
The new studio
This will be my new studio premises from July (we've just received the keys, but it will take us a couple of weeks to get it setup). The building is the East Pavilion of Blackburn House (between Seafield and Blackburn in West Lothian) - the property is owned by...
Family photography: An afternoon in the park
It took a few attempts to get a suitable date, but we eventually managed a couple of hours in a nearby park photographing Pete and Clare's children. We were even lucky to get nice weather and pretty good light (brilliant sunshine might be nice and cheery, but it is...

Alan and Réna are our very good friends and since Alan has lost a lot of weight (a lot of friends and ex-colleagues wouldn't recognise him), we took the opportunity to squeeze in a quick studio portrait session. These are good examples of classic black and white...
Mine, all mine
I feel it is worth stating that everything here is my work - mine, all mine (though credit does also go to Fiona as an assistant, the models and make-up artists too). I've been spending time looking at the competition. Occasionally I encounter images I know were taken...
Fredau H – some me time (studio portraits)
I had recently worked with Fredau at a couple of classes I was teaching at Edinburgh Photographic Society, but since I hadn't been shooting much work for myself recently I arranged some me time with her. The first two are just simple, classic studio portraits:...
Rachael Lyon at Edinburgh Photographic Society
I'd asked Rachael to model for the Edinburgh Photographic Society's beginners' studio night tutorial - again, this is just a test shot for the lighting setup using a beauty dish. I'm looking forward to working with Rachael again.
