Chris Blott Edinburgh people & lifestyle photographers
"I grew up and studied photography in Scotland and learned to love the vast spectrum of natural light that only a northern country can produce. I also learned to use that light quickly and efficiently because it often doesn’t last long. I bring this passion for natural daylight to all my work and it remains the starting point and corner stone for all my imagery.
Recent work has seen me on the beaches of Cornwall shooting for Celtic & Co and shooting in Madeira and Greece for Scottish brand Marble Fashions.
Upcoming shoots will have me travelling to Cornwall again followed by Crete and then when the longer days return I’m looking forward to shooting in Scotland for Findra and House of Bruar."
