I am an award-winning photographer and filmmaker with over 15 years of experience across landscapes, street scenes, architecture, wildlife, portraiture, miniatures, and cinematic video production. I founded Sorbus Studios and co-created The Brothers Grimdark YouTube channel, taking full responsibility for studio design, filming, lighting, photography, editing and post-production. I've been recognised by the Edinburgh Photographic Society, featured in print media for commercial client work, and I enjoy teaching photography workshops. I blend technical production expertise with strong visual storytelling and a professional, client-focused approach.
