I was approached by Shutterstock Studios to shoot a range of imagery consisting of landmarks and districts within Edinburgh for Booking.com. This was part of a global photographic project spanning the UK, Germany and the USA. Taken over a period of six weeks in all the weather our great City could muster, I was responsible for planning, street casting, location management and shooting this fantastic opportunity. The following images are a brief selection of the final edit as well as a few out-take images.
