I think of myself as a creative photographer mainly involved with portraiture and fashion shoots. I'm as happy in the field as I am in the studio! All the images here are my own!

A muse is an amazing thing, she lets you develop ideas, create and evolve concepts. I have had a few people that I'd call Muse, and for that I'm very grateful.

In this photoshoot we wanted a touch of reality, a sensuous, engaging scene. This is what was delivered. Who wouldn't want to wake up next to this amazing creature!

When working with other creatives I think it's essential to learn from each other. One vision, bumps into another and generates another.
When free to play creatives will kick the shit out of AI every time!

WET AND WONDERFUL
On the bonnie shoes of Loch Lomond we were concluding a photoshoot. The model was wet and it was raining, I captured the moment. Scottish rain has medicinal properties! 🤔

The Irn Bru shoot.
It's a Scottish thing, Irn Bru, "made in Scotland from girders".
The lovely Victoria allowing us to put her red hair to use (a ginger in Scotland), she's blonde. More in ALT!

The Irn Bru shoot. It's a Scottish thing, Irn Bru, "made in Scotland from girders". The lovely Victoria allowing us to put her red hair to use (a ginger in Scotland), she's blonde, I just took liberties in editing. I know it was over processed, and it didn't need to be, but it was going to be mono with spot colour, hence the eyes, then I changed my mind. Victoria knows the camera and puts on a performance, fantastic model and lovely person! The Irn Bru shoot. It's a Scottish thing, Irn Bru, "made in Scotland from girders".

Part of a series with Max.
I desaturated the image but left more colour into the face and hands to highlight where your eyes should go. Kinda works.

A photo of a male model, topless grasping a sword, muscles tense. Edited to enhance the image, desaturated apart from the face and hands.

I go on regular location scouting trips, on this occasion Ashley came with me... I saw this barbed wire fence and being a photographer I did what we do 👉🏻📸😎
Ashley is not just a model she's also a photographer. Her connection to the camera is outstanding.

Capa said we need to get closer, so I did.
I always say that we, as creatives, are on a journey that can never end and that harshest critic is that irritating bastard in your head.
That said, Happy New Year!

Let's hope for Karma to do is job!
That's a beautifully hopeful perspective. While the start of a year can feel daunting when challenges are all around, focusing on the small joys and incremental improvements can transform the outlook. Each small act of kindness, progress, or beauty adds up to something greater. Here's to finding those moments of light, building on them, and making 2025 a year of unexpected positivity and growth. Your mindset can inspire others to see the potential in the little things—and that’s already a big thing in itself! Don't hide away, shout 'bring it on' and remember the wise words of Hunter S Thompson: "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

Casually Wonderful
I love the idea of male fashion on a female, to me it's sexy, but it needs a model that can bring it home... meet Anisah
#femalemodel #sexy #braces #Scottishphotographer
The amazing Anisah. A female model wearing shirt and braces. It's a high key mono edit. She delivers to the camera on every shot.

Grunge Girl
First shoot with this model and it spawned many more. Any good photographer will tell you that Models are as creative as us, and she was. More info in ALT.
#portrait #portraiture #sexy #model #grunge #redlips
A photo of a model with a grunge look. This was my first time with this model who went on to feature in many shoots. As a photographer, as me, I work better on shoots with models that connect with me through the camera. The relationship between a photographer and a model can blossom into a creative storm where we bounce ideas off of each other taking planned shoots into new territory. Throw a great MUAH into the mix and you'll have a wow shoot, a creative team! I think I've shot the wedding of 75% of my regular models and I consider that a privilege.

A Cutting Edge Model

We had a set where we emphasised the bigotry of society that matches beauty goes along with a meak personality, see almost every Hollywood movie!
I can tell you, she ain't that meak!

BTS: the wind machine in the studio just would not behave but she went with the flow (air flow, get it? 🤔😂)
The set was great but I always come back to this one.

Women at Work
In a traditional male domain
#fineartphotography #womenengineers #sexy #Scottishphotographer
Two models in overalls in a pump room of a dry dock taking a break from work. This was a project where we placed females in traditional male domains. They are more than able to hold their own but they look good doing it! A combination of natural and full lighting with a grunge edit for effect.

Movie Poster
An actor came in for a photoshoot and we thought we would create a 'movie poster' edit. See ALT for more info

#actor #movieposter #sexy #action #strongfemale #actionmovie #sexy #beautiful #dangerous
An actor came in for a photoshoot and we thought we would create a 'movie poster' edit. So we changed her top for a leather jacket and gave her two sub machine guns. Dropping in a new background. Then editing was compatible with the theme. Model: short blond hair holding guns looking at the camera in a dystopian scene.

Misfire
This is a BTS. We were testing out the pose with the lighting before shooting the set but two lights never fired so she was only illuminated by a beauty dish. A mistake that worked? See alt for more.

Misfire This is a BTS. We were testing out the pose with the lighting before shooting the set but two lights never fired so she was only illuminated by a beauty dish. A mistake that worked? There was a 'fill light behind her and another off to the right, both misfired. On review I found myself drawn to this. The model is one of my favourites but you can see how boring it can be whilst the photography team 'fanny around' with the lighting set up. I'll be honest, I enjoy fancying around! Model in a chair in the studio showing a lot of leg before going nude for the actual shot.

SHAWL WE DO IT?
Playing on a fashion shoot trying to make an old fashion piece look sexy.
>>>> More info in the Alt description.

#fashion #sexy #boudoir #studio #femalemodel #shawl #photography #Scottishphotographer
Our model standing in front of a lit softbox wearing a see through knitted shawl. We kept the bra on so there was contrast with the cream shawl. With her hands on her shawl it allows us to create a "feminine" 'V'. We wanted to make what was seen as a old fashioned piece of fashion sexy, well it was featured in a magazine but making it look sexy? That was all down to our amazing model.

Max
I did play around with this and, for me, this was the weakest photo of the set (photographer not the model) but I thought I'd start with this one.
#photography #malemodel #warrior #lomo #scottishphotographer
Max is a male model, here he's told with a muscular torso holding two double headed axes. This was part of a series of images and it's the weakest one of the set. If I'm posting these as a set I usually start with the weakest of the selection.

The Eyes have it!
It doesn't matter how much you reveal, it's always the eyes you come back to.
This was the pop up flash on the camera with a piece of paper over it. My battery on the off camera flash ran out. I love her eyes, they draw you in.

It's chilly
A first time model, and although she was nervous it never came over in the photos.
This was a studio shoot, I dropped in a background for context.

Clown
I watched this guy, who gave his time free to a hospice, work his act. I felt really sad for him, people didn't interact, he was exhausted. I saw me in him in, an aging photographer. When do I give in? See alt info!

Clown I watched this guy, who gave his time free to a hospice, work his act. I felt really sad for him, people didn't interact, he was exhausted. I saw me in him in, an aging photographer. When do I give in? Eve Arnold was my photography hero, she had nude photos of Marilyn Munroe but burned them rather than take millions from papers. One of the reasons I never show the nude photos of models unless given written permission. Regardless, he is a silent hero!
