Thought I'd upload these images, both taken near my home. Aberdeen Beach and Balmedie Beach.

Cara!

Had some fun today with Cara. Seeking out natural light in the North East in November can be a challenge - but with a bit of imagination and a very willing model we came up trumps today.

Cara is such a beautiful girl, and is great to work with. A downpour started about 5 minutes after we'd finished!

Autumn Light

My blog is a place where I can share what I get up to in my spare time, and this usually involves having a camera in hand. This afternoon Richard, Millie and I took ourselves along the railway line at Culter in the outskirts of Aberdeen's West End. There has been so much rain recently that all the fields are flooded - fabulous if you're a swan!! You never know what you're going to see but can only capture it if you have your camera with you.

Have uploaded one of Richard and Millie too.

A Million Here a Million There......

Frank Turner - Edinburgh gig

Frank Turner

Brett Domino Trio Frontman - Rob

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of going to gigs and listening to live music - have uploaded some pics taken from Frank Turner (ex Million Dead front man) and Brett Domino gigs. Was really chuffed when Leeds College of Music asked to use one of my images for an article on the Trio - all the band members studied there. If you've got a couple of minutes have a look at their very funny 'Stylophone Beatbox Hip-hop Medley'... it's had over a million views on You Tube already - incredible.

Amazing Grace

Had so much fun today doing a shoot of Grace - a delightful two year old. Think she takes after her stunning mum Beth. The Duthie Park in Aberdeen was really quiet today - shooting on a Friday rather than weekend meant we pretty much had the park to ourselves.

Passionate about Pets

A trick to get them to sit still - some cheese!

Millie the Schnauzer.

Our own Millie - a Deerhound/Lurcher cross. A beautiful temperament - maybe because she's a rescue dog?

I'm known for my portrait work and although it's not mentioned on my website, I love taking pics of animals - capturing their unique personalities and little quirks. Believe it or not these two have something in common - they're both called Millie!!

CLAN 123

CLAN's Rosemount Shop - Clothing Donations

Some folk just hate getting their photos taken!

Last year I started a photography project with local cancer charity CLAN - see http://clanhouse.org for more details. The idea for the project was to document the various activities that are carried out at CLAN house, their various charity shops, outreach centres and also some of the fund raising activities.

CLAN is going through a period of significant change and under the CLAN 123 umbrella is currently raising funds for its new home - visit their website for more info.

Visit my blog for updates on the project and the CLAN 123 progress.
