I am happiest and most content when I am in nature and this passion shines through in my photography. Biking, hiking, skiing, canoeing or just being, its all an adventure - and one on which I often shooting in challenging conditions in the mountains, forests and elements, through day and night. I capture both serene and epic scenes, candid, creative and sharp images of dynamic events such as grand outdoor sports events and fundraisers. Going the extra mile to get those wow shots!
I am inspired documenting both interiors and exteriors of built and design environments - shapes, angles, materials, functionality, light and lines, and importantly the human experience of the space and the relationship with the surrounding environment.
Whether for holiday let, estate agency, architectural features or heritage details, I can provide you with quality, high-resolution photographs for use in websites, social media, brochures and other publicity materials. Happy to document specific renovations or features on a small scale or to document various stages of your project, from site development through the construction process to buildings in use including detailed images and details of the finished project.
Whether online or in print, prospective clients will have been spoken to by effective imagery long before they have read a single word of text - lets make it count!
Whatever your business, brand, product, service or experience - I aim to create visual content to showcase how great it is; using natural light (as much as possible) and creative perspective. I will work closely with you to align with your message, values and brand guidelines whilst shooting, as well as editing imagery to a specific style/format to meet your vision.
Having worked in the Humanitarian sector for a decade, I am fortunate to have had many rich and humbling experiences, challenging missions, and compelling stories to tell. I am impassioned to contribute to deserving and inspiring stories - to highlight your work and cause. My photography approach comes with a profound understanding of the sector and demands involved.
Before turning full time as a photographer I worked in project management in a variety of humanitarian responses for a decade. I have worked, lived and travelled extensively in Africa, Asia, South and Central America, and the Middle East for a number of organisations and emergencies. I produced a lot of project photography documentation for assessment and reports - astute to the to specific circumstances of cultural sensitivities and respectful practice, as well as requirements of donors and other stakeholders.
Such collaborations would be priced on a project specific basis - please get in touch.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Hi images are fantastic, and I haven’t looked back since. I hope to be working with him for many years to come”

— Amy Kenyon - Senior Events Manager, Army Benevolent Fund
“From first enquiry to final delivery, Graham was a pleasure to work with. The shoot demanded a very tight timeframe and lighting challenges but he approached it with an enthusiastic and professional attitude which resulted in beautiful photos that our client was very happy with.”

— Anna Sullivan - Senior Acciount Manager, We Are Wonderworks
“Graham has an amazing body of work so it was easy for us to decide that his photos should be featured across the walls of the Lighthouse. Barely a week goes by when someone doesn’t comment on the quality of the images”

— Andy Hadden - Managing Director, Wavegarden Scotland, and The Lighthouse in North Berwick
“Graham has undertaken several commissions for both Bothy Project and Bothy Stores. His images of the Bothies in the landscape capture beautifully the character of the buildings and their relationship to nature and the elements. His recent images of Bothy Stores’ Artist Bothy focused on the architectural detail, finish and quality of the materials we use providing us with strong promotional content to help position the Bothy as a premium product”

— Bobby Niven - Director, The Bothy Project
“We recently purchased images from Graham to use in our marketing material. Stunning images and Graham was a pleasure to work with. Looking forward to seeing more of his work”

“We recently undertook another facelift to our signature property Dell Lodge and were looking for some striking artwork that would create impact and atmosphere to the rooms. Graham's photography makes us draw breath. His epic landscapes sit beautifully within the walls of the Dell, a really dramatic focal point and link with the vistas that surround us. The quality of finish on the frameless images has a beautiful matt lux to it which makes it easy to view. I feel the artwork has really enhanced the identity of the property and in terms of guest experience, we love the fact that if they fall for one of the images, they can pick up a print on their way home.”

— Polly Cameron - Owner/Manager, The Dell of Abernethy
"We needed some updated photos for our newly refurbished self catering Lodge and Graham was the perfect person for the job.
