💥 OUCH. That sounded nasty. You alright there, Greig?! 😭 Well… that pretty much sums up life sometimes. Shit happens. Plans fall apart. Ideas flop. And yeah… sometimes you go arse over tit in public. 🤝 This is your last wee reminder that on Wednesday 20th May, SCN is teaming up with @fuckupnights_glasgow for a night celebrating the mistakes, mishaps and moments we’d quite like to erase from our memories. ✨ Join Ross & Greig alongside Dana & Jonny for hilarious stories, honest chats and the comforting reminder that we’re all just winging it. Plus, expect our usual dose of Creative Chaos because nothing says networking like collectively admitting your biggest failures to a room full of strangers. 💜 📍 The Social Hub, Glasgow 🕡 6:30pm 🎟 Tickets via the link in bio See you there… assuming Greig survives the fall. 🫡

Fuck ups are part of everyday life. We win some, we lose some. We all make daft, awkward or downright humiliating mistakes… but the best part is, we learn, grow and (eventually) laugh about them. 😅 On Wednesday 20th May, Scottish Creative Network is collaborating with @fuckupnights_glasgow Nights for a hilarious evening celebrating the moments that didn’t quite go to plan. 💥 Join Ross & Greig alongside Dana & Jonny from Glasgow FuckUp Nights for a night of honest stories, belly laughs, lessons learned the hard way, and of course… a little bit of our signature Creative Chaos. Sometimes the best stories come from the absolute disasters. 🔥 📍 The Social Hub, Glasgow 🕡 6:30pm 🎟 Tickets via the link in bio ****No Greigs were harmed in the making of this video.****

It's nice when clients say lovely things about working with you. I'm lucky enough to have worked with some amazing people over the last two years, as well as old colleagues and dear friends. I'm even luckier to be able to call some new clients, real actual friends now too. I'm driven by only one thing. People. If you care enough to want to invest the time into sharing and telling your story, you can be damned sure I will care just as much. I want every client to get not just what they want, but what they need. Two decades in the game, and I'm not going anywhere. AI can produce "content", but I can help you produce trust, connection and confidence from your audience. I'm not here to press 'record' and send you some footage. I'm here to help you tell your story. That's it.

Spent a lovely sunny afternoon with @thechattyfreelancer and the Creative Pals. Our afternoon was a photo colour hunt, and I got 🔵 blue. A fun afternoon with good friends and a great way to get out of the city after a hectic few weeks of work. Heading home for something unhealthy to eat and collapse on the sofa.

One silly, one serious. I take no credit for this shoot, I actually was 'just pressing a button' here - the masterful @stephaniethorntonphotography is responsible for this setup, styling and concept - I just stepped in to grab a couple of frames just for funsies. And the stunning @lucylouise.edwards was a bloody good sport when I said 'just make a crazy face'. C'mon, everyone was going for the beauty shot (and quite rightly so...) but I rarely take the obvious route! Shot this week on the @thebipp stand at the @thephotographyshow during Stephanie's demo session. Probably while she was busy yapping about me sticking a telly in front of her images again. #guiltyascharged #ukphotoshow A joy to watch and learn from.

It was such fun to hop upstairs from my desk at @thesocialhub.glasgow to @sisi.glasgow and grab a few shots with the gorgeous @rj_in_technicolour and tag team with my dear pal @khandiephoto I shoot so much for business clients, I miss having some fun and just shooting for me. (and the lovely Ruth, of course!) I've got some good availability in the first half of March if you're looking to update some portfolio, headshots or personal branding too. Slide into them DM's if you need some new shots!

I've spent nearly two decades in one of the biggest challenger brands in the UK, shaping stories, community and engagement through imagery in one form or another. Much of that has been in film & video, as well as photography. There's all those years of experience in strategy, storytelling and actual substance for you and your business to draw on. I don't live behind a library of light-leaks and fast cuts. Your story needs to breathe, and live in its own way - not just for the three-second hook. Use that experience, if your business needs to tell its story - come talk to me. different-light.com [email protected]

I joined @tofisnaps and some other folks today for a little wander and some good chat. And caught Josh taking some portraits of @roma.sterling - so, obviously had to snatch some shots. @art.ful.life @fujifilmuk @viltroxuk X-H2 / Viltrox 75mm f/1.2

‘No Mean City’. Are you old enough to remember that line from Taggart? It’s always stuck with me. I often wonder if that gritty vibe has influenced the style of my photography over the years. It’s absolutely true - my ‘signature’ look in my people photography is in the grittier places of the city. Places full of character, texture, mood and depth. I think there’s over a decade of shots here and I have many more going back to the mid-noughties. And yes - before anyone says it, these are all blokey images. Yes, I have (and do) photograph every gender identity in every location I can, but these are just the collection of images that came to hand when I got a prompt about my love of an alleyway yesterday. Alleys are my ‘thing’.
