Portrait session with @katharine.odonnelly 📸 I’ve always loved the painterly-style work of @chrisknightphoto and recently watched a renaissance inspired shoot with @lindsayadler_photo , so really wanted to give this style a go! Katharine has the perfect look for this ❤️ Shot with an overhead strobe as the key light, a strip light off to the right, and a speedlight on the backdrop to add some subtle background texture.

Actor portraits for Jacob ⭐️ I wasn’t sure what is was going to be like working with someone quite young, but actually he turned out to be a total delight and so easy to photograph. Future model / superstar in the making 🫶 Shot on my canon 5d miv + 85mm 1.2. #actorportrait #actorheadshots #edinburghphotographer

Photography for Harrison Ford x @glenmorangie whisky. Awesome to dive back into the whisky / cocktail world! Especially when you're shooting for ol' Harry himself. Location and mixology at/by @thelastword_bar in Edinburgh. Photography & retouching by me. #Glenmorangie #HarrisonFord #CocktailPhotography

If you can’t be sexy Princess Leia if you’re born on Star Wars day, then when can you be.... May the 4th be with you ✨✌️ In all (sort of) seriousness it’s always fun to practice a bit of compositing work. Simple lighting setup in this one - key light off to camera left with a strip light for hair and back highlights. As per, super hard to shoot yourself, especially in this awks position 😏… ended up hooking my camera up to Lightroom with a few seconds delay so I could control it that way and try and find the subtle positioning and expression similar to Princess Leia’s. #maythe4thbewithyou #princessleia #starwars

New work with my fave collaborator and muse @katharine.odonnelly I've been shooting more people recently and have been wanting to explore shape and gesture through movement and pose. These were part of a wider series where we experimented with different setups and figurative work too (really wish I could share the figure stuff on here... 👀). Always amazing working with someone so open to direction and willing to try anything ❤️ Loads more to come! Shot in my studio with an overhead strobe as key and a strip light for highlights. #editorialportrait #studioportrait #actorportrait #creativeportrait #studiolighting @thescotart

Happy World Theatre Day! We’re giving a mini standing ovation to ourselves, and our lovely, supportive, talented network of poster design pals (collectively known as The Make It Pop Mafia), who have done so much for our collective sanity. 👇 @rebeccapitt86 Being a part of this little community has brought me previously unforeseen levels of sanity over the last few years. It’s such a privilege to be featured alongside these clever chaps! @dougkerrrrr It’s a continuous honour to share space with these wonderful and inspiring designers! Also a big shout out to all the photographers who I would be lost without. @byemiliechen My tip is to always pay it forward. I’m so grateful to be part of the ‘Make it Pop Mafia’, a group where peers share advice, cheer each other on, and pass along opportunities. I hope you find your own “Mafia”. @emgoodmandesign Thank you for welcoming me into this clan of incredible designers ❤️ Pro tip - put your prices up!! @haiminh_ So thankful to be part of this brilliant, supportive, and bloody lovely group of fellow designers. Work hard. Be kind. Get a foot hammock. You are welcome. @louisearich Happy World Theatre Day! I’m grateful to work in an industry that celebrates craft and big ideas, but I thank my lucky stars on a daily basis that I’m part of this talented bunch of kind, generous and very witty designers. @mightyfinedesign Our Whatsapp group is one of my favourite haunts, and I’m so grateful for all the laughs. My biggest tip is to build your own community - don’t wait for one to find you! @dialemformartha My tip would be to try to fall in love with the idea as much as possible! @stephpynedesign Happy WTD! Stay curious, ask questions, and find (or build) a community of people whose work you love. @ghostlightstudios_ It’s such a joy to find a community that’s so helpful, talented and welcoming. Reach out to the people you look up to - they’re never as scary as you think! :) @williamandroids This group makes me realise I’m not mad, or if I am, we are all insane together.

💥MY OFFICIAL SYDNEY COMEDY FESTIVAL POSTER💥 After a sold-out season of her debut solo show at the Sydney Fringe Festival 2025, Best Supporting $tripper is back — with a whole bunch of new and exciting material. Same premise, totally different show! 🤪 After years of funding my acting career one lap dance at a time, I’ve finally landed the role of a lifetime: a struggling artist having a public meltdown for laughs. This is a show about rejection, delusion, and surviving the entertainment industry with nothing but sheer willpower. From the delusions of being a struggling actress to the brutal realities of the adult industry, this is a darkly funny deep dive into the side hustles, survival tactics and questionable financial decisions that keep a dream alive. Whether you’re here for the satire, the trauma bonding, or just to confirm your suspicions about stripper life, you’ll leave with something to talk about. Tickets are selling FAST for Friday!!! Grab yours now via the link in my bio! Hope to see you all there 🎟️ 📆 7 & 8th May ⏰ 7:30pm 📍Bondi Pavillion Thank you to @evangelinefaught for the sexy bathroom shoot & @emgoodmandesign for the poster design 🩷

Cannae resist a back shot 👀 Final beach trip to Waiheke Island. My flight back to the UK has been cancelled, delayed and to be frank a total shit show to rebook... but grateful for an unexpected extra week in NZ and some more beach time with my sistaaa ♥️ 📸 @ludelucy #x100v #fujifilm #waihekeisland #nz #auckland @instantswim

New poster design 🖍️🎭 Loved playing with contrast between a nostalgic image and loud type in this one. Big blocky yellow lettering in a brief is always welcome 💛 #fringeposterdesign #comedyposter #posterdesign #theatreposter #fringeposter
