When I’m not taking photos, you often find me walking in the woods with my dogs in the Scottish Borders, wild swimming in the cold North Sea, or travelling somewhere on the West Coast in my campervan Fern. I am also a filmmaker and my first film A Different Home premiered at the Scottish Queer International Film Festival in October 2024. The film won the Best New Voice award in 2025 at the Queer Cine International Film Festival in Ghent, Belgium. I have just finished my second documentary The River and the Glen about the life changing Camp Trans Scotland 2024. Both the film and a photographic exhibition are currently on at SQIFF until the end of October. The exhibition will then travel to Pitlochry in January 2026 for Out in the Hills at the Festival Theatre. I am now filming my third project, Rural Queers: A Scottish (They)Story about being queer in rural spaces. I have documented the work of the Lavender Menace Archive in photos for the exhibition Through a Lavender Lens for the Edinburgh Art Festival 2024. My partner Mitchell and I have been running photo and video workshops for two years with the Edinburgh queer community and worked with LGBT Youth Scotland and See Me. And finally, I’m a member of the New Leaf Co-op in Edinburgh, providing organic wholefoods to the community.
I shoot with a Canon 1DX mark III and a Canon 6D mark II and an ever expending set of lenses.
Accessibility, safety and trust are three absolutely core values in my work and I always discuss these with clients before an event or photo shoot. It’s not just about what we want the pictures to look like, it’s also about how we can all feel seen and heard during the process.
