Thoughts and stories from my experiences as a commercial photographer
An ‘occasional’ commercial photography blog
For over 20 years I have been a full time professional commercial photographer. Most of my work now is based around weddings, proposals and events in and around Edinburgh. I used to run a studio and do a lot of commercial photography work as well.
Here are my commercial photography blog posts from the past to give you an idea of the range of work I have done. If you are interested in asking me to be your photographer then get in touch below.
