dance and portrait photography in Scotland
Beautiful images, created with you.
Whether you’re stepping into the spotlight, building your profile, or creating a buzz around your next project—you want striking images that feel real, confident, and truly you, at your best.
I’m Alan, a photographer based in Scotland, specialising in dynamic dance photography and expressive portraits for performers, creatives, and professionals.
My work is collaborative, relaxed, and crafted to reflect your individuality—whether you’re mid-pirouette or simply being yourself in front of the lens.
Photography with purpose
I work with dancers, performers, creatives, and professionals across Scotland to create bold, authentic imagery that tells your story.
Dance Photography
From fast-paced competitions to beautifully lit studio sessions, I work with dance schools, companies, and individuals to create images full of energy and precision.
Whether it’s capturing movement mid-performance or creating powerful dancer portraits, I’ll help you showcase your technique, artistry, and emotion.
Portrait Photography
Whether you’re updating your portfolio, need photos for work, or simply want to celebrate being you.
My portrait photography sessions are relaxed, collaborative, and can be designed around your personal style. From professional headshots and promotional images to magazine-style portraits just for fun. You’ll get photos that feel authentic, confident, and completely you.
Why work with me
Years of experience, creativity, a calm, positive approach, and an eye for real connection—that’s what I bring to every shoot. I’ve worked in theatres, factories, studios, workshops, rehearsal spaces, private homes. And out on bustling city streets, picturesque landscapes and windswept Scottish mountains. My job is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and seen—so we can create work that feels truly you.
What to Expect
Whether you’re looking for bold promotional images, elegant dance portraits, or coverage of a large-scale show or competition, you’ll benefit from experience, creativity, and a relaxed, professional approach.
My photography is centred on you—your goals, your style, and what you need from your shoot. Every session is tailored, whether that means full creative planning or simply blending into the background and letting the performance speak for itself.
