I recently returned from an assignment to Chornobyl nuclear power plant and the exclusion zone around it, in Ukraine. I was there commissioned by Greenpeace Germany to work as a part of a team conducting a radiation survey of the Russian military impact after their March 2022 occupation of the zone, and to make photographs […]
This past weekend I had a few moments in which to photograph a portrait of First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. The shoot took place here in Glasgow, very locally which was nice. As much as I prefer photographing the ‘man/woman in the street’ who doesn’t usually get photographed, it is always nice to get a few […]
I’m pleased to say I’ve work going on show very soon in Berlin, at the Museum of European Culture. The exhibition is entitled Reflections on a Changing Country, and is a set of four stories by myself and my three colleagues of our Document Scotland photography collective. The exhibition opens on 18th August 2022, and […]

‘Know your boxes” I was once told by a photographer, meaning know what you’re photographing and how it adds to what you’ve shot before, know what projects you have on the go and how it all fits together. So it was this weekend as I photographed Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in Glasgow. Last week […]
I’m delighted to share the news that today Café Royal Books and I have collaborated again to bring out two zines featuring photographs fro my archive of Glasgow and Golden Jubilee. The two titles are ‘Glasgow 1990s‘, and ‘Queen’s Golden Jubilee, Scotland 2002‘. Both retail for £6.50 plus package and posting. The Glasgow 1990s images, […]
As part of the acquisition of the Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert photography archive by the University of St Andrews there is a very small exhibition currently being exhibited as a ‘First Glimpse’ of the photography that the archive contains.
