I’m a freelance photographer and photo editor based in Edinburgh, specialising in sports, editorial, and event photography. I currently work shooting Scottish National League ice hockey games with the Edinburgh Capitals, where I’ve developed strong skills in high-speed capture, consistent editing workflows, and fast turnaround delivery. With seven years of experience behind a camera and proficiency in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, I bring a detail-driven editing style and a strong understanding of colour, tone, and consistency across large batches of images, whether for commercial use, promotional campaigns, or digital media. What sets me apart is a balance of speed, accuracy, and professionalism. I’m responsive, organised, and take ownership of my work, ensuring deadlines are met and the final images align with the brief. My goal is always to make the client’s workflow easier, efficient, and stress-free.
