R was self-conscious.. Minnie came to the rescue. Portrait taken in their garden shed.

I like the light in John's left eye.

Caroline is not used to being photographed. She works with horses and so we borrowed the magnificent Janna to help out.

'B''s symmetrical face and large eyes inspired this approach.

I used a shiny high contrast look to capture the edginess and energy of Finlay.

I took this at a Fuji camera event in Glasgow.

Claudia can adopt different persona at will. We went for a moody 1970's magazine look.

Jane will admit to being a reluctant subject. I used Hollywood Paramount lighting.

This friend has a sunny disposition and always looks towards the light. BTW I never put photos on my site or instagram without the permission of the sitter. Sometimes they wish to remain anoymous.

This was for a professional website.

The triangle of light under 'P's left eye is typical of the light Rembrandt depicted.

It is fashionable to use flash outside to create an unrealisitc balance. In this case I went for a natural look for photographer and friend Kay..

Family dynamic captured in simple triangular compostion. Portrait taken in the family home.

I aim to make people look their best and still look like who they are.

I caught up with Thea at a dance event at the Hope Rooms, North Berwick.

Rex collects large paintings by Patti Yuill.

George's paintings of the harbours of the Scottish coast are admired by collectors all over the world.

I used a vintage lens to create a dreamier portrait of Lauren whilst she was not posing.

My wife is my no.1 reluctant model. I caught her mischievous sense of humour which she needs.

I used the sun as backlight for Kay's hair.

I wanted to cpature the strength of Susanna's character.
