Our Story

The Tartan Portraits site itself is recently new however, I have been working as a professional photographer for over ten years and previous to that as an amateur. Usually found with camera in hand!

I am a BA qualified Professional Photographer with a post grad in Social Arts Practice. A married, dad of two (no longer children) children! A passionate Scot who loves the outdoors and feels very lucky to be born and based on the West Coast of Scotland. Family is everything to me, we are a creative bunch and it is a huge driver for my photography having documented and collated endless memorable moments with them over the years. Photography to me is more than taking a picture. When I went on to study my post grad in Social Arts Practice, my creativity really came alive. Understanding the power of imagery and people, I have adopted an organic process which allows every session to develop in a way that is rooted through communication. I have been lucky enough to enjoy significant and acclaimed success in my practice.

Perhaps the most important thing is that I truly love what I do and feel that it matters. Always up for a chat, a plan or a plot! We created Tartan Portraits to provide a more accessible way to engage with us. Providing an outline of our service to give clients a starting point, but please do drop us an email to discuss your ideas!

BEST MINI-WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN SCOTLAND

Our special day was so lovely and will be commemorated due to Tartan Portraits photography. Gordon kept making jokes, so we could laugh and relax thus the photos looked more natural. He stayed with us before and during the ceremony, wedding and park photoshoot, 4 hours in total. Park photo session was magic due to the bubble surprise. Before the wedding, we were looking for a photographer who would document our marriage journey at a reasonable price, not over-artistic, over-priced way like many photographers on the market. Gordon fulfilled our wish well. Our families are in awe of photos. We recommend! Agata & Damian
