RSV Originals

Russian Standard Vodka Originals brought three nights of concerts this week to the HMV Picture House in Edinburgh. Music fans won tickets to the free concerts performed by Plan B The Hoosiers and White Lies.

This is the second session of concerts I have photographed for RSV - the first being The Noisettes back in May this year.

Perfect 10

This image was produced as a publicity shot for the recent Euromillions draw which promised to make 10 people millionaires. It was shot in a studio in Glasgow and took a number of attempts until we got the numbers just the way we wanted them to look. Tricky job shooting in the dark but very pleased with the result.

Too Early for a Resolution?

I am delighted that two of my photographs have been used on the latest Dougie MacLean CD Resolution which was launched at Perthshire Amber last week.

Two images of Dougie photographed last year at Perth Concert Hall were used on the back of the jewel case and also on the back cover of the booklet. I also photographed the paining by Jenny MacLean which is used on the cover.

Copies of the Resolution will be available from DougieMacLean.com.

Perthshire Amber - The Dougie MacLean Festival

I first met Dougie MacLean in London a few years ago and then photographed him several times last year when working on Homecoming Scotland 2009. I have always admired his music so I was delighted when he asked me to photograph Perthshire Amber - The Dougie MacLean Festival up in Perthshire last week. It's a 10 day long feast of events in locations as diverse as Dunkeld Cathedral, Castle Menzies, Perth Concert Hall, The Crannog and of course Pitlochry Festival Theatre which is the hub of the operation.
