About

I’m Lifestyle portrait and wedding photographer based in Laurencekirk, Aberdeenshire.

I have studied photography at degree level with the Open College of the Arts over the past decade, with a focus on a lifestyle and documentary style of photography. I use this background in documentary to influence my practice when working with clients to bring a fresh, relaxed, fun and collaborative approach that helps capture family moments in either digital or print form.

A triptych of images, including two young girls in flowery dresses climbing on rocks in front of red cliffs near Johnshaven, Aberdeenshire Scotland. The second image is black and white, with a young couple looking lovingly into one anothers eyes, framed by a tree in the background. Both are wearing short leaved tops that showcase their tatoos. The third image shows a red-fox lab retreiver staring up, with a shallow depth of filed that highlights his nose. His ears a drooping to the side and he has a very cute face.

Whilst I’m based in Laurencekirk, I’m originally from Stonehaven and still have many connections there. I have lived in the South of England and spent time travelling around Australia, where I first began to take an interest in photography. I cover south Aberdeenshire and North Angus, although I’m always willing to travel further and explore new places.

I have experience in working with children and take the well-being of your family seriously, I am a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups scheme. We’ll work together to ensure that your photography session is a relaxed and pleasurable experience for you and your family and to support you through the process from arranging the session to ordering your products. I strongly believe in an individualised service to meet your needs as unique people.

I enjoy spending time outdoors walking in the hills of Aberdeenshire, exploring our coast or visiting galleries and exhibitions when not out with my cameras. I have an interest in historical sites, so I can often be found in places of historical significance, both indoors and outdoors. I’m inspired by the photography of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jitka Hanzlova and Jonas Bendikson, although there are many more that I could mention.

I am always willing to discuss photography with you, especially what you’d wish to achieve when working with me. You can contact me here at Barry Howie Photography and we’ll discuss your phtotography session.
