About the Business
School was great in Edinburgh but I was sure that I didn't want a job that would keep me tied to a desk. Luckily getting my first camera, a Zenith 80 pointed the way forward. That said with the arrival of digital I do spend more time at my computer, often till late into the night working on images for delivery to clients with tight deadlines.
I''ve been working as a photographer all my working life, starting work after leaving college in Edinburgh before joining Baillie Marshall Advertising, a few years later as principal photographer. Here the work was extremely varied, one day you could be photographing shortbread for Walkers or Simmers, the next snapping aircraft for British Midland. Many clients and many briefs from the designers kept the photographic studio busy.
A couple of years later I moved into a large warehouse studio in Leith and worked on building my own client base. Working mostly with advertising and design groups, life was never dull.
