through slow photography, original poetry, and cinematic film, I capture the raw, honest textures of the Scottish Highlands.
this space is the opposite of fast, overstimulating, and heavily edited media. whether you find yourself here to dive into my journal, explore campaigns and real stories, or collaborate on your brand’s true identity, welcome!
when I started my studio, I thought I had to capture the world louder, more polished, and more perfectly to be seen as a photographer and creative director.
it wasn’t until Summer 2026 that I stopped chasing 100% perfection and started documenting what is true and how a moment makes us feel.
01 / Raw over perfect
Rather than smoothing or editing away textures, I embrace them! The heavy grain on a soaked stone wall, facial lines, dust settling - all the imperfections. These unpolished layers are what make a photo, a scene, come to life and show the honest truth of a moment.
02 / Creating a safe space
To be seen is to feel trust. Whether I’m filming an interview or quietly shooting a product, I aim to keep the space low-stimulation and safe. No masking or performance, just breathing space to be yourself.
03 / Slowing down
Fast commercial commotion isn’t my cup of tea. I love working slowly, intentionally, listening, and taking my time with what I create. The goal is to move past fast scrolling and give people a second to stop and experience a world that feels less lonely, and even gets them questioning…?
01 / Film & Interviews
Horizontal and vertical films for product launches, content short-films, and websites, alongside slow-paced, cinematic interviews. Focused on real details, contrasting colours, depth, and honest storytelling.
02 / Product Imagery
Product photography and textured brand stills. Real, honest imagery, from my studio setups to the Scottish Highland landscape, that gives your brand a warm, raw feel.
03 / Poetry & Voiceover
Original writing and voiceover storytelling. Custom poetry crafted alongside spoken-word audio tracks to provide your campaigns and content with a deeper, intimate layer.
I keep my studio and social media calendar intentionally small seasonally to ensure your project is approached with full focus that doesn’t feel rushed.
This way we can explore your brand, understand your story, and capture the real, honest textures of your products and vision.
My autumn bookings are open for independent creatives and brands.
Explore my recent work, where I focus on natural light, real textures, and honest storytelling through a cinematic lens that feels true to your brand.
"People are crying out for vulnerability online that makes them feel seen.
I help you step away from the heavily edited landscape and back to what is raw, real, and resonant."
