Architecture
Architectural photography communicates a building project. Good quality natural light helps to distill architecture into a 2D composition. With a degree and ten years practice in architecture before becoming an architectural photographer, my eye is well trained to understand buildings and their relationship to landscape.
I work with a range of clients (architects, housing associations, cultural organisations, developers, builders, council organisations, businesses, artists and publishers etc ) who have an interest in the built environment. Back in 2008 I had success in a Glasgow Institute of Architects photography competition judged by renowned photographer Colin Prior, winning the Urban Landscape category. This encouraged me to set out on a journey of self employment from which I have not looked back. Working between Glasgow and Edinburgh, I am well positioned to reach most places in Scotland, and regularly travel further afield.
I use a range of wide angle, and tilt-shift lenses with the latest software for image editing where required. Following discussions with the client, an understanding of a building is gathered through initial site visits, and viewing drawings where possible; establishing angles, and best times of day for shooting. Attention to detail, clarity of communication, and ensuring good light is key. Images are supplied in a range of formats from web use to high quality prints. Photography is at the centre of my practice, yet with my background in architectural employment, and a firm interest in the shaping of places, and landscapes, I also enjoy combining written work, and illustration, with photography.
Thanks for looking and please be in touch should you want any further info. I would be happy to discuss any requirements you may have.
