Commissions, Tours & Private Hire
Your vision. My local knowledge. Scotland, curated properly.
Whether you’re commissioning bespoke fine art, planning a private photography tour, or wanting discreet trip documentation, this is built around one thing: an unhurried Scottish experience, done properly.
I handle the route, timing, and contingency planning so you can stay present while the story is captured with professional care, absolute discretion, and refined detail.
Available for private hire across Angus, Tayside, Perthshire, Aberdeenshire, and the wider Scottish Highlands, including the North Coast 500.
Bespoke and Tailored
A professional partnership, designed around you.
This is not a standard workshop. It’s private hire at a luxury service level.
You get an expert guide, scout, and photographer in one. The purpose is simple: remove the fatigue, the uncertainty, and the constant decision-making so your time in Scotland feels effortless.
Exclusivity: One to one or private groups only. Absolute discretion throughout.
Strategy: Route design, timings, scouting, and weather contingencies handled for you.
Local Advantage: The nooks and crannies. The places most folk drive past.
Unhurried Pace: Built for depth, not a checklist. Quiet moments matter.
Professional Care: High-end kit and a refined workflow that protects quality from capture to delivery.
Ancestral Heritage Commissions
Walking in the footsteps of your forefathers.
If you’re coming home to Scotland to trace your roots, the value is rarely in the famous landmarks. It’s in the small places.
A village street. A kirk. A dockyard. A glen where your family name still feels close.
I offer heritage documentation that captures the mood and character of your ancestral locations with a calm, documentary approach.
Hame Sessions: Unposed, story-led photography at your family locations
Heirloom Imagery: A permanent record of your connection to place
Seasonal Scouting: If needed, I can revisit locations across the year for the right light and character
Optional Research Support: I can work alongside local genealogists to help identify key locations before your visit
Luxury Car Clubs & Expeditions
Capturing the drive, the people, and the landscape properly.
Scotland’s roads are cinematic. The mistake is rushing them.
I’m available for private hire documentation for luxury car clubs and supercar expeditions across the NC500 and the Cairngorms Snow Roads, capturing vehicles in motion and the camaraderie of the journey.
NC500 Expeditions: Multi-day documentation with a curated route philosophy
Chase Car Experience: Rolling imagery captured from within the expedition
Event Narrative: The atmosphere, the stops, the laughs, the story behind the drive
Discretion Built In: A professional presence, never intrusive
High-End Hospitality & Estates
Signature imagery for premium Scottish brands.
Luxury hospitality is sold on feeling. Light. Texture. Atmosphere. Quiet confidence.
I provide bespoke commercial commissions for estates, retreats, hotels, and premium brands, creating imagery that reflects the character of the space and its landscape context.
Signature Imagery: Interiors, exteriors, landscapes, and brand portraiture
Commercial Strategy: Flexible coverage for marketing, web, and press
Seasonal Retainers: Updated imagery across the year so your marketing stays honest to Scotland
Licensing Clarity: Commercial usage quoted properly based on reach and requirements
Documenting Your Journey
The invisible photographer. The real story preserved.
For clients on a milestone trip, I work as a discreet storyteller in the background.
You don’t need to worry about getting the photos. You stay present with your people while I capture the full narrative as it unfolds.
Luxury Travel Documentation: Candid story coverage plus landscape context
A Calm Presence: No awkward posing. No pressure. No performance
Heirloom Deliverables: High-resolution files, fine art prints, and signature books designed to last
Absolute Discretion: Professional, dependable, and unobtrusive throughout
Locational Portraits
Natural portraits, rooted in place. No awkward posing.
This is for people who want a portrait that actually feels like them, and like Scotland.
We choose a location with meaning, or I suggest one that fits your pace and personality. Then we work slowly, with light direction only, so nothing feels staged. The result is a calm, honest set of images, shaped by the landscape, the weather, and the moment.
Unposed and Easy: Gentle guidance. No forced smiles. No performance.
Meaningful Locations: Coast, woodland, glens, villages, or anywhere that matters to you.
Discreet and Calm: Perfect for introverts, couples, and small family groups.
Heirloom Options: Fine art prints, framed pieces, and museum-grade books available.

The Elite Experience
A bespoke service framework, refined around your journey.
Because this page covers everything from private tours to heritage commissions, expedition documentation, and commercial work, what’s included is built around you.
Some clients want a calm one day experience with a private gallery. Others need full logistics, scouting, multi-day coverage, brand usage licensing, and heirloom deliverables.
That’s why every project begins with a short consultation and is then shaped into a clear, written Expectation Pack. It confirms exactly what’s happening, when, and what you’ll receive, so the experience stays calm, discreet, and professional from start to finish.
Core elements your project can include:
Discovery call by phone or Zoom to understand your goals, pace, and priorities
Executive outline with proposed approach, timing, locations, and a clear quote
Route and timing strategy including light, weather planning, and contingency options
Guiding or discreet documentation depending on the service you’ve booked
Scouting and recce options for complex journeys, heritage locations, or commercial briefs
Professional delivery via a private gallery with high-resolution files
Commercial structure and licensing where imagery is for business use
Heirloom options including fine art prints, albums, and museum-grade books
Not sure what you need yet?
That’s normal. We’ll shape it together and build the right Expectation Pack around the experience you want.
