Commercial photography for Scottish businesses and charities
Poor photography is one of the most common ways Scottish businesses undersell themselves. A well-written website, a strong strategy, a clear social media presence — all of it is undermined by images that don’t reflect the quality of what you actually do.
I provide commercial photography for businesses, charities and organisations across Scotland — natural, high-quality images that support marketing, PR and storytelling across every channel.
My photography appears regularly in national newspapers, magazines and broadcast media — including BBC Scotland, STV, The Herald, The Scotsman, Scottish Field and The Scots Magazine.

PR and news photography
I provide news and PR photography to support press releases and media coverage. My images have been used by national and regional media across Scotland, and in titles around the world.
I understand how editors and picture desks work, and I produce images that are immediately usable across print, broadcast and online — without the back-and-forth that comes from working with photographers who don’t understand media requirements.
Food and drink
I photograph producers, distilleries, cafés, pubs, restaurants and food and drink businesses across Scotland. The focus is always on storytelling, provenance and the craft behind what’s being made — creating images suitable for websites, PR, packaging and wider promotion.
Food and drink photography works best when it tells a story about where things come from and how they’re made. That’s the approach I bring to every shoot.
Accommodation and tourism
High-quality photography is one of the most powerful tools available to accommodation providers and visitor attractions. It drives bookings, builds trust and communicates the experience before a guest arrives.
I regularly work with hotels, B&Bs, self-catering properties, holiday lodges, and visitor attractions across Scotland — capturing natural, well-lit images that reflect each property and its setting.
Events and experiences
I cover conferences, outdoor events, activities and experiences across Scotland — capturing key moments, atmosphere and action. Event photography is delivered quickly, making it immediately usable for PR, social media and post-event promotion.
Where it adds value, aerial drone footage can be included as part of a wider project — particularly for outdoor, tourism and location-based work.
Products and services
Commercial photography of products and services for use across websites, brochures, advertising and PR. I shoot on location wherever possible — real environments add authenticity and context that studio shots often lack — but I can also work in a controlled studio setting when clean, product-focused imagery is what’s needed.
Good product photography pays for itself quickly when it’s working properly across your website and marketing channels.
Portraits and staff photography
People buy from people — and images that show real faces, real environments and real work build trust more effectively than any staged corporate shoot.
I show what you do, whether that’s action shots of people doing what they do, environmental portraits in your workspace, or straightforward professional headshots that feel like real people rather than passport photos. Nobody is made to feel uncomfortable in front of a camera, which is where the best portraits come from.
Destination and Tourism Photography
I maintain an extensive scenic stock library covering locations across Scotland — from Loch Lomond to the Highlands and beyond. Images are available for licensed use by businesses, publishers, visitor attractions, tourism organisations and media.
If you need bespoke location photography for a specific campaign, publication or project, I can also shoot to brief anywhere across Scotland.
Commercial photography that supports your marketing
If you need commercial photography that feels natural, professional and purposeful, I can help. Whether it’s accommodation, food and drink, events, PR or destination imagery, I create photographs that work across websites, marketing materials and media. Why photography and marketing work better together
Most commercial photographers hand over a set of images and leave. Because I’m also a marketing consultant, I approach every shoot with your wider goals in mind — thinking about how the images will be used, where they’ll appear, and what they need to communicate.
That means less briefing time, better-matched images, and photography that genuinely supports your marketing rather than sitting unused in a folder.
For many clients, a photography project becomes the start of a broader trusted relationship — covering strategy, website, video and ongoing support alongside the visual content. Everything joined up, everything consistent, one person responsible for the whole picture.
Also worth considering
Photography is most effective when it sits within a coherent marketing approach. A promotional video can be seamlessly integrated with photography on the same shoot and significantly increase engagement across websites and social media. A Squarespace website built around fresh photography performs significantly better than one that isn’t. And if you’re investing in photography but unsure where it fits in your wider marketing, a Marketing Performance Audit will give you that clarity first.
All of this can be scoped and delivered within the same working relationship — one trusted person, everything joined up.
