Time for Some Infrared Photography
Hi Everyone
Hope you are all coping during these difficult times. With all my conferences cancelled for at least the spring time, this puts a temporary halt on professional conference and event photography work in Scotland for the time being, I have a bit more time on my hands, although not too much with 2 children in the house. However, now is the time to concentrate on a little bit of infrared photography around my local town of Dunbar, in East Lothian, Scotland. On my walks I have managed a few infrared photos along the Belhaven coast and Dunbar. I am also in the process of completing text for my new book, which I hope to self publish, although I have had some positive responses from some publishers. I am now about to choose the images for the book, happy to take on any suggestions, the only stipulation is that they were taken in Scotland, as the book is a means of showcasing this amazing country we live in. It is a kind of alternative guide book for tourists and infrared photography fans. The photos will consist of colour and black and white images, with a short description of the location/conditions etc. I will also start the book by providing a brief description in the Introductory paragraph on how infrared photography works and why I got into it. So watch this space.
Until next time.
Kind Regards
Colin

Hi Everyone
Hope you are all managing to get through this difficult time without cracking up.
As a professional corporate and event photographer working in Scotland, I read a lot about how to use this time wisely to develop as professional photographers, however this is easier said than done if you have children in the house, or you are worried about elderly relatives. It is important to force yourself to try and bring a normality to the situation if you can. I obviously can’t take any conference photography assignments in Edinburgh just now, but I can photograph infrared when I go on my one walk a day and we do live by the sea, so I am fortunate in that sense. You can also post on social media and talk to your fellow photographers. It is important to try and stay positive as we will get through this. If anything you can use the time to think, what future photography projects you aim to tackle, also tidy up your workspace, practice on that software you have hardly touched.
Anyway above all else, stay safe.
Kind Regards
Colin

Infrared Photography in Scotland Collection
Hi Everyone
With the current situation as it is and most of my events cancelled, now is the time to look at other projects and keep our hopes up during a very difficult time both financially and emotionally. As you all know I have been photographing infrared over the last few years and I recently compiled a collection of infrared photographs from Scotland. Although my main source of income is through professional corporate and event photography mostly from Edinburgh but also throughout Scotland, I also conduct personal projects, in particular infrared photography and I am currently planning a book showcasing my infrared photos from various locations throughout the country. I also find photography very therapeutic at times like this. Photography in general can help you in many ways during stressful times. If you want to see more, take a look at the collection of photos on the website. It was very difficult choosing my favourites but I tried my best to keep it varied, with a mixture of colour and black and white images. The other thing as photographers that we can do is to update our training during times like this. There are a number of ways online and they don't all cost money. Adobe also run a variety of training courses for members. Also, I have a mountain of photography books to read and its always important to keep up to date with your social media. Also, why don't you get out that film camera from the attic, you may re-discover the magic of film photography.
Anyway guys, chin-up. Look after those who need it most. All this will be over eventually.
Regards
Colin
