Noir! December

2010-01-14T22:27:00.003Z

Noir! came back to Edinburgh this December at Hawke and Hunter. The event, a mix of fashion, art and ideas was a great sucess and I was asked down to document the night.

Hopefully, I will get the opportunity to document the next also - the atmosphere, inspiration and people were really amazing and I can only hope more events like this occur in Edinburgh.

Featured here are images shot for The Edinburgh University Alumni magazine.

These will be featured in a magazine aimed at former student of the university, designed by White Light media.

Playdate December.

2010-01-14T22:08:00.000Z

This is the poster design for Playdate December.

The idea was to give it a Christmassy feeling but still reflect on the fact that the holiday is drawing to a close.

I actually found it a lot harder than I thought it would be to design a Christmas flyer without being cheesy.

Craft Scotland

2009-12-15T22:46:00.000Z

Apologies for the lack of updates recently but I have been so busy it's hard to find the time!
Here are some images from the fantastic launch of Craft Scotland's "The C Word" campaign and advert.

Playdate November

2009-11-23T23:52:00.000Z

This month's playdate flyer saw me incorporating someone else's artwork (which I am ussually slightly reluctant to do as I fear it will reduce the design possibilities).

I was required by the client to use an existing image of "Drums of Death" (aka 29-year-old Glaswegian Colin Bailey). I wished to clearly show what the night was about and prominently feature the exiting press shot (copyright unknown I'm afraid but it's not mine...).

After a number of rejected designs, I settled on this.

Images used for the design are below. The one on the right is my image, while the one on the right is the Drums of Death press image with which I was provided.

Many thanks to Fi MacKay from Kiss on the Lips for her wonderful modelling.

Playdate October

2009-10-15T08:48:00.001+01:00

A new style for this month's Playdate poster.

As it was Halloween, we decided on a riff on a classic B-movie poster from the 50s.

Many thanks to my amazing model, Cara Hind, for her excellent work in being petrified.

In the next few months I will be moving away from the "toy inspired" poster designs which I have been submitting for this client and am excited about the new direction these posters are taking.

Hamilton's Edinburgh

2009-10-13T08:28:00.000+01:00

Last month, I shot images for Hamilton's bar in Edinburgh. The images were a mixture of lifestyle and food shots which will be used to promote the bar in print and online.

The food was phenomenal and I couldn't resist having a taste as I shot.

Treacle bar and kitchen.

2009-08-08T17:08:00.004+01:00

The Treacle bar and kitchen site went live last week.

Regular viewers of the blog may remember me mentioning my commission for this previously. The site looks great and I think the shots all turned out very well. All images on the site (except the few in the "fun" section) were taken on one day with some very accommodating models and staff from the venue.

You can check it out here. Site design is by Sharp Applications.

Playdate August.

2009-08-05T08:02:00.003+01:00

It's very rare for me to do a design without any photography involved at all but I feel this one has worked out very well.

*No photographs were harmed in the making of this flyer.

Scottish Agricultural College Graduation 2009

2009-07-22T08:18:00.004+01:00

This month I documented the graduation ceremony for the Scottish Agricultural College in Glasgow.

Held, once again, in the Bute Hall, this impressive setting was a pleasure to sit in but a bit of a nightmare to shoot in. Very low light conditions and high high ceilings meant that ISO's were high or exposures were long.

Still - I got some nice results from the day and my work was used in press releases to promote the college and the honorary award which were distributed to friends and members of the college who had made an outstanding contribution to the institution.

Other images will be used in the SAC prospectus and promotional materials.

Scottish Youth Parliament.

2009-07-08T14:32:00.004+01:00

Bit of a late update this one but I completely forgot to post this after the event...

Last month I shot the recent elections for the Scottish Youth Parliament. This was over two days with the first day being the annual general meeting, a march to the Scottish Parliament building to highlight climate change and an evening of speeches and the following day being the elections themselves.

I was incredbily impressed with the passion that the members of the parliament showed and it gave me enormous hope for the future listening to the the young people discuss with poise and intelligence the issues which surround as all today.

Pictures below are the new Youth Parliament Committee.

Playdate June.

2009-07-06T16:38:00.003+01:00

Another playdate flyer - this month is a riff on a classic 80s design.
