One of the privileges of being a Scotland-based photographer working on assignment, and on personal projects, is getting to meet the people we do. I had one such portrait assignment recently in Dumbarton, near Glasgow, with Lord Speaker, Lord John McFall of Alcluith. Not only do we get to meet people of all walks of […]
