New Horizons for Photographers in Scotland
Hi Everyone
As we move into the new year, we are all hoping for a more positive future with the effects of covid being felt on photographers and other businesses. The corporate and event photography event commissions in Scotland have started up again and I recently photographed an award ceremony in Edinburgh. It was a very enjoyable event held in the wonderful Signet library just of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. The event was for the MRG Media Awards and was attended by a number of media organisations, including the major television companies and everyone had a good time. However, due to the new covid variant, there has been a bit of a halt for some event commissions, but hopefully this will be a temporary thing and we will advance forward. In the meantime, I have been doing some infrared photography in the Campsie Fells and photographing Southbank Marina in Kirkintilloch. I am also hoping to get some landscape and infrared photography in over the festive period at loch Lomond, near my new home.
Anyway, until next time.
Kind Regards
Colin

Corporate and event photography in Edinburgh is back
Hi Everyone
It was great to get back to some professional corporate and event photography at the Signet Library in Edinburgh after the longest wait in my photography career due to covid. This event was an awards ceremony for media companies, which included representatives and award winners from the BBC and Channel 4. This is the first time I have worked at this location and it is a truly remendous building in the old town in Edinburgh, just of the Royal Mile. We had the Awards ceremony, dancing and generally delegates networking and enjoying themselves after too long a period where this kind of event was not possible.
It did feel like I haven’t been away for long and it all came back to me, despite some tricky lighting, as the whole event took place after dark. It’s great to be back and this is just the start of many new photographic commissions on the horizon.
Anyway, until next time, I will leave you with this photo from the event.
Kind Regards

Urban Photography Glasgow, Photographing Puddles.
Hi Everyone
As things start to get back to a sort of a semi normal state, I have been getting enquiries for corporate and event photography in Glasgow and Edinburgh and I have an award ceremony photoshoot booked in Edinburgh next month amongst other things. As I have now moved to Kirkintilloch, I am pretty much next to Glasgow and I was out at the weekend getting some urban photography images. The weather was pretty awful but there is always a cloud under the silver lining and I was able to shoot some puddle photos in the centre of the city. I started puddle photography as a student and had a bit of a reputation for it at the time, with fewer people doing it then than now and I have always enjoyed shooting from the ground up. I loved it and although you look a bit daft (that has never bothered me anyway) it is a great way to get some unique low angle photos with really creative reflections. I also like to convert to black and white and try infrared photography where possible (ie if you are lucky enough to get some sun after the showers). Glasgow is a really interesting city to photograph with lots of glass architecture, people buzzing around and landmarks. You have to be careful mind you as most of the puddles are in the gutter, make sure you don't get knocked down and keep your gear dry Hope to do more soon.
Anyway, until next time.
Kind Regards
Colin
