Dance and Portrait Photography in Scotland
Beautiful images, created with you.
Whether you’re stepping into the spotlight, building your profile, or creating a buzz around your next project—you want striking images that feel real, confident, and truly you, at your best.
I’m Alan, a photographer based in Scotland, specialising in dynamic dance photography and expressive portraits for performers, creatives, and professionals. My work is collaborative, relaxed, and crafted to reflect your individuality—whether you’re mid-pirouette or simply being yourself in front of the lens.
Photography with Purpose
I work with dancers, performers, creatives, and professionals across Scotland to create bold, authentic imagery that tells your story.
Dance Photography
From fast-paced competitions to beautifully lit studio sessions, I work with dance schools, companies, and individuals to create images full of energy and precision.
Whether it’s capturing movement mid-performance or creating powerful dancer portraits, I’ll help you showcase your technique, artistry, and emotion.
Portrait Photography
Need images for your website, audition package, social media, or press kit? My portrait sessions are relaxed, collaborative, and tailored to your goals.
I work with actors, artists, business owners, and creatives to produce headshots and promotional portraits that feel genuine and professional—never stiff, never forced.
