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.

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.

Why work with me

Years of experience, a calm approach, and an eye for real connection—that’s what I bring to every shoot. I’ve worked in theatres, studios, rehearsal spaces, and out on windswept Scottish hillsides. My job is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and seen—so we can create work that feels truly you.

What to Expect

Whether you’re looking for bold promotional images, elegant dance portraits, or coverage of a large-scale show or competition, you’ll benefit from experience, creativity, and a relaxed, professional approach.

My photography is centred on you—your goals, your style, and what you need from your shoot. Every session is tailored, whether that means full creative planning or simply blending into the background and letting the performance speak for itself.
