Studio and Portrait photography
I’m based in the beautiful village of Ballater, in the heart of Royal Deeside, surrounded by some of Scotland’s most stunning landscapes. From my Ballater studio, I work with clients across Aberdeenshire and beyond — including Aberdeen, Braemar, Banchory, and the Cairngorms. Whether it’s a relaxed portrait session, a corporate shoot, or an outdoor wedding in the Highlands, I bring a local understanding and creative eye to every project. My work reflects the natural beauty, character, and warmth of the area I’m proud to call home.
Every project begins with understanding, who you are, what you need, and the story you want to tell through your images. Whether it’s a professional studio portrait, a corporate headshot, or a large-scale industrial shoot, my goal is always the same: to capture authenticity, detail, and purpose with creativity and precision.
In the studio, I focus on control and light, crafting polished, expressive portraits that communicate confidence and personality. On location, I work with natural surroundings and available light to create images that feel alive and genuine. For corporate and product photography, I combine a keen eye for composition with technical accuracy to highlight your brand and elevate your visual presence.
When documenting weddings, birthdays, and events, I take a candid and unobtrusive approach, capturing real emotions and meaningful moments as they unfold. Each photograph is guided by storytelling and emotion, ensuring your images feel natural, timeless, and true to life.
My approach is professional yet personal, blending creative vision with reliability, so whether it’s a single portrait or a full commercial assignment, every shoot receives the same level of care and attention to detail.
Studio Portraits
We all have a story to tell and our lives are speeding up quicker than we can keep up and our memories are only snippets that we retain as we grown older. Taking an image, freezing a moment, reveals how rich reality truly is. It reveals how great we are and how great we can be.
Photography is a time machine, and what we have caught with our cameras is captured forever. It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. These special family moments, how full of youth we once were, how young our children are, and how quickly they grow and leave us behind.
The best thing about a studio portrait is that it will never change and you have captured a moment in time. You can capture a personality and savor it forever. A studio portrait will be one of the most valuble investments you make.
The small selection of photos you see here are some of the wonderfull people I have met recently. They all had fascinating stories to tell, they all have families and friends and loved ones who treasure these images and will continue to do so, long into the future.
A studio portrait will being your home to life, with memories and images of the ones you love the most.
Outdoor:
Imagine being able to capture yourself or your loved ones in an environment that truly reflects their personality. A location portrait will make a wonderfull addition to your home, office or studio and reflect your personality. Anything is possible with a location portrait; we can travel to your home, office or location of your choice or my suggestion. We can incorporate a favourite pastimes of yours into the photography, so it reflects your personality.
