Who I Am

I'm an industrial and offshore photographer based between Arbroath, Scotland, with more than 23 years of experience working in the oil, gas, and renewable energy sectors across the North Sea and beyond. My background offshore means I don't just take photos — I understand the environments, the hazards, and the pressures my clients operate under.

What started as a personal passion for photography has grown into a career documenting some of the world's most challenging and innovative energy projects. From asset hook-up and commissioning to large-scale offshore wind farm construction, operations, and decommissioning, my role is to capture the detail, the scale, and the story.

What I Do

I specialise in creating visual records of:

  • Offshore wind farm construction, O&M, and operations — including SOV and CTV-based projects

  • Oil & gas projects, both commissioning and decommissioning, across the North Sea

  • Heavy industry, marine, and infrastructure works

  • People at work — from technicians to supervisors — showcasing skill, safety, and teamwork

  • Coastal Scotland, drone aerial photography, and documentary black and white work

Every project is approached with the same discipline: a strong safety culture, reliable delivery in harsh offshore conditions, and an eye for detail that helps clients both document and promote their work.

Certifications & Safety

Operating offshore demands more than a camera. I am fully certified and safety-trained, with credentials including:

  • GWO (Global Wind Organisation)

  • BOSIET (Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training)

  • NEBOSH (Health & Safety qualification)

  • RoSPA NVQ Occupational Health and Safety

  • CAA A2 Open Category Drone Pilot

This means I can integrate seamlessly into your project environment, working alongside your teams without compromising safety or slowing operations.

Why Work With Me

Clients choose me because I combine technical knowledge with visual storytelling. I deliver:

  • Trusted offshore experience — over two decades on platforms, vessels, and substations across the North Sea

  • Safety-first approach — compliant, certified, and proactive on any asset

  • Images with impact — sharp, considered, and versatile for technical reports, social media, marketing, and editorial use

Clients & Projects

I've worked with a wide range of energy companies and contractors including BP, Total, Petrofac, and leading offshore wind developers. My photography has appeared in national tabloid publications, industry brochures, and on the Amazon Prime TV series The Rig. Projects have included Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm, Hollandse Kust Zuid, Galloper Wind Farm, and Mariner hook-up with Aker Solutions.
