About Our Brand Photography and What Inspires Us
It is said that a picture speaks a thousand words, but for us, it highlights our love for the outdoors and a deep appreciation for the aesthetic our clients and brands are drawn to. As we let you into our world of personal branding photography, we hope to uncover the inspiration that lies behind each image we capture and the brands we work with.
Over the past few years, we have worked with a varied and diverse range of clients who have reached out to us to create unique and engaging images & videos for their brands and businesses. We have worked with companies who offer both cabin and small rental properties, curating images that evoke the cosy charm of these spaces. As well as collaborations with fashion brands, where we skillfully weave narratives through each image, and to the inviting ambience of coffee shops, lifestyle stores, and serene pilates studios.
Come along with us as we tell you about our brand photography and what inspires us…
What is Image Branding?
This refers to the perception and impression that a company or product conveys to its target audience. It encompasses the visual and emotional elements associated with a brand, including its logo, design, messaging, and overall identity.
Image branding goes beyond just a company's outward appearance; it extends to the feelings and associations evoked in the minds of consumers when they encounter the brand.
A strong and positive image is crucial for building trust, loyalty, and recognition in a competitive market. Successful brand photography involves careful consideration of a brand's values, positioning, and the consistent delivery of a cohesive and appealing visual and narrative identity across various platforms and touchpoints.
Ultimately, it will differentiate a brand, create a memorable impression, and influence consumer perceptions in a way that fosters long-term connections and success.

Our Love for the Outdoors
Our journey to becoming photographers was shaped not only by technical manuals or darkroom techniques but by the inspiration we draw from all around us.
As admirers of nature, we often find ourselves irresistibly drawn towards the outdoors. This profound connection with nature began to permeate our work, eventually becoming a big part of our brand photography.
Unearthing the Aesthetics of Our Work
Our photographic aesthetic is natural yet poignant and delicate yet mesmerising.
We are committed to portraying moments in their true form, abundant with emotion and beauty.
The great outdoors offers an ideal backdrop, its myriad shades and textures contributing a layer of depth and individuality to our imagery. This distinctive style, born out of authenticity and simplicity, has come to define our brand.
It strikes a chord with our clients who value our approach to brand photography.
Drawing Inspiration from Brands
Our creative spark often comes from the fascinating and unique brands we have the privilege to work with.
It is not just about capturing images, but rather, weaving together their individual stories – each brand bears a unique ethos and mission we endeavour to express through our brand photography.
We seek to transcribe these tales into visual narratives that trigger feelings and a deep connection to the brand.
Creating Content
A discerning eye for detail is an essential tool in our brand photography.
We are meticulous observers, attuned to nuances in lighting, perspective, and composition.
We seek out those fleeting, often overlooked moments. Capturing such moments is not a mere exercise in clicking a camera shutter; it's an art form that endeavours to convey the beauty concealed in the everyday.
Our mission is to create more than just an image, but a beautifully crafted collection of images that accurately reflects the natural essence of a brand.
The Beauty in Simplicity
In an era dominated by digitally enhanced we champion the charm of simplicity.
We subscribe to the notion that less is more and our photos testify to this belief. Every shot we capture is more than just a static image; it's a timeless fragment, embodying the natural allure and emotional resonance of the subjects in their real, untouched state.
The subtlety and grace of simplicity are what we strive to encapsulate in each frame, creating a meaningful, evocative narrative. Our love for authenticity permeates through every photograph, reflecting our dedication to capturing true feelings and moments.
Brands That Have Inspired Us
In the exciting world of brand photography, we find inspiration in the stories woven by iconic brands that we have worked with.
As brand photographers, we are not just observers; we are storytellers capturing the essence of these brands. So, let’s talk about some of them…
Kip Hideaways
Capturing the essence of Kip Hideaways is a poetic journey for us as photographers.
In their exquisite tapestry of spaces, each frame tells a story of intimate retreats, embracing the very soul of the UK.
We are honoured to be a recommended branding photographer for them, where every image seeks to mirror the warmth that Kip Hideaways effortlessly ties into their curated havens.
Stedsans
Stedsans is an off-grid forest restaurant in Southern Sweden.
We drew inspiration from the serene wilderness of this beautiful forest retreat that we captured back in 2018. This haven of wooden cabins, a regenerative farm, a restaurant and even a floating sauna serves as a reminder of the joys of sustainable living and the beauty of co-existing with nature.
The vibrant hues of the countryside, the whispers of the woods, the symphony of the rustling leaves – they all tell a story that we were honoured to capture. It is this indelible connection with nature that shapes our photographic narrative and continues to be a cornerstone of our work.
No 9 North Uist
No 9 North Uist is a haven nestled in the peaceful setting of the Outer Hebrides.
It's not just a luxury holiday home, but a beautiful canvas where memories are etched, with its endless expanses of sky and sea.
As we moved around the premises, capturing images, we couldn't help but appreciate how harmoniously the aesthetic of the property reflected our own – an unwavering commitment to authenticity and simplicity.
Capturing No 9 North Uist was an exploration of the harmony that exists between natural beauty and human-made luxury.
Hone Pilates
We also worked with Hone Pilates, a boutique Pilates studio nestled in the heart of Edinburgh to create visuals for their website, app & social media pages. Their ethos, rooted in coherence and originality, balances perfectly with our brand
Hilary Keyes
Hilary Keyes is a talented knitwear designer based in the heart of Scotland.
Capturing her creations against the stunning Scottish landscape, by the sea where the brand is based, was an absolute joy. Working with Hilary and similar brands drives us to continually showcase the efforts of beautiful designers through our lens.
Bothy Stores
Capturing the essence of Bothy Stores were the moments when we framed the simplicity and innovation of their inspirational, prefabricated cabins.
Here we found both rural serenity and urban simplicity in one which deeply resonated with our brand photography style.
