Equine, Pet, Portrait & Wedding Photography in Aberdeenshire

Based in Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, I specialise in equine, pet, portrait and wedding photography, working both on location and from my Aberdeenshire studio. My work is calm, natural and thoughtfully created, focusing on genuine moments, character and connection across a wide range of photographic subjects, from horses and landscapes to people, families and celebrations.

– ABOUT

Welcome to my website.

I am a professional photographer based in the stunning Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire. Photography is more than a passion for me — it is where I feel most focused, confident and creative. Through capturing moments and weaving visual stories, my aim is to create images that resonate, bringing meaning and enjoyment to those who view them. As the saying goes, “The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”

"Very impressed"

What a lovely person to take portrait shots of me and my girls.  I felt totally at ease and the photographs look amazing.  I wanted natural shots and once the camera started to click we relaxed and forgot he was there.  Thank you Julian.
