About

I am a freelance commercial photographer based in Biggar, a village on the outskirts of Edinburgh. I will do whatever it takes to consistently produce narrative-driven photography with integrity and professionalism.

I would love to say I have always dreamt of being a professional photographer, but it is simply not the case. In 2015, the passing of my late father, Geoff Mather, was a catalyst for change in my life. I inherited the camera he bought to document the life of his first grandson, and I started exploring photography. It was a conversation with my brother-in-law that inspired me to apply for a photography course and, by the end of the day, I had submitted my application. I graduated with a BA in Professional Photography from Greys School of Art in 2019 and picked up my first professional commission with property developer Parabola shortly after. For nearly three years I was a resident photographer documenting the first stage in Parabola's master plan to transform Edinburgh Park. The body of work I produced over the course of the residency has since won multiple awards including The Portrait of Britain 2021 and the AOP Emerging Talent Awards 2021-22.
