Sarah Nov 3
We’re all very happy with this set, was a joy to do. The dress, the setting and of course sarah are all lovely. Shot at Crombie Country Park we certainly got a few strange looks from passers by but who cares with results like these. Thanks to Gilly and Sarah for a very productive shoot day.
Set shot with… Canon 5d Mark II // Canon 35mm 1.4L // Canon 85mm 1.2L // Canon 135mm 2.0L // canon 430ex flash in 28 inch softbox

Sarah Nov 1
A bit of a christmas vibe going on here, well it is december in a few days. I want to do shoots like this all the time! Had a great day at Crombie Country Park with Sarah and Gilly. As the day went on the light got better and better and what a beautiful setting. Two more sets coming very soon and this one can be seen on our facebook page and photo diary

Emma Johnston in the house
Amazing new set from saturday with the stunning Emma Johnston from Edinburgh/Broughty Ferry. What an exceptional model and great day, not sure why it’s taken us so long to shoot together but can’t wait to shoot again.
Makeup by the wonderful Kirsty Miller at Signature Makeup.
Check the photo diary for more and get in touch if you fancy a shoot.

Scarlett Leigh
Excellent shoot with Scarlett Leigh from Connecticut USA / Falkirk. Full set here
What a lovely person to work with, she doesn’t realise how good she is, a natural. A long drive through for her to Carnoustie but she worked very hard to get some cracking shots and we all had a blast.
Kirsty did a superb job on the makeup as usual. I say it all the time but these are some of my favourites so far, think i’m finding my groove and developing a style i’m finally happy with… almost.
All shot with one cheap little flash, 5D2 and the canon 85mm 1.2L.

Barbara Dymock
Photoshoot for traditional scottish folk singer Barbara Dymock from Dundee. We shot this at an amazing house on Dundee Road overlooking the Tay. Thanks to Sarah for the makeup and first contact and Julie for the hair and venue. These shots are to be used on CD artwork and marketing material I believe and Barbara is delighted with the outcome… full set here

Sarah 14/04/11
Great great great shoot with Sarah Robertson - haven’t seen her in so long, she hadn’t modelled for a while but it took her no time at all to get back in the swing despite the freezing temperatures. Assisted as usual by Gilly who does a wonderful job of blethering and choosing outfits. These were shot around the Verdant Works area of Dundee, I like the strong use of colour and abstract shapes the area provided. View the whole set.
Equipment: Canon 35mm 1.4L // Canon 85mm 1.2L // canon 430ex // umbrella // elinchrom skyports

Elaine Shoot 2 - 27/02/11
Worth waiting for? I’m pretty stoked about this shoot. The 85L is hard to get to grips with, quite a few images not as sharp as i’d wish but the creamy backgrounds and general look and colour of the images are more than worth it. Again all shot with just one light setup.
Check out the whole shoot over in our photo diary and come say hi on facebook.

Maisie Location Photoshoot, Dundee
Love getting out of the studio, always checking the weather and itching to go exploring. These are my favourite style of shots, outdoors, having fun and interacting with the environment, I think it gives the model and us something to do and it certainly puts a smile on the faces of the passers by. (At night in a back alley with stockings on, ha ha). Using only one light keeps things simple, less time concentrating on numbers and lighting - more time getting super cool shots.
We seem to have been stuck indoors alot recently so this shoot was a great laugh and Maisie wasn’t bothered in the slightest. Look forward to more shoots with her in the future.
Busy again this weekend on a very important shoot so stay tuned for more info on that.
location: Dundee // canon 5d Mark II / canon 135mm 2.0 / canon 35mm 1.4 / canon 430ex / Elinchrom skyports / Westcott Apollo 28inch softbox

Maisie Donaldson Studio
Long awaited shoot with Maisie Donaldson from Falkirk, all very last minute middle of the week evening stuff but came together very nicely in the end. Using the monster 5 foot octabox and beauty dish. Not much room left in the studio what with the octabox and heavily pregnant wife helping out. :) Couldn’t do it without you though Gilly!
Maisie is a great model to work with, any scottish photographers out there should get booking her, so effortless.
Enjoying going back to basics and using only the white seamless paper backdrop at the moment, i love that through properly lighting the subject I can change the shades from white all the way through to dark grey without having to go buy more overly priced paper.
Would love to her what you think.
location: Home Studio, Dundee // canon 5d Mark II / canon 24-70L / Elinchrom skyports / Elinchrom D-lites 2 / 5’ Octabox / Beauty Dish
