2020 wasn’t the best years for a lot of us but I’m one of the lucky ones that still managed to getaway. Fortunately, my job takes me to some amazing places and despite the fact that it dosnt’t always feel like work its all perfectly legal and within the regulations for photography productions to continue, after-all online marketing is more important for a business now than ever before.
One of the highlights of my 2020 was taking the new Aston Martin DBX for a 5-day road trip to the Scottish highlands. My Dad and I haven’t been away together since our previous Scotland trip 9 years ago where we enjoyed a mountain bike trip to Fortwilliam. When the opportunity to shoot some images for Aston Martin came about in October I asked my dad if he would be interested in coming along to assist me during the shoot for both driving, lighting and rigging and it turns out he makes a great assistant.
Showing my Dad around some of my favourite locations from Skye to Torridon and Glen Etive we hit up as many epic photo locations as possible within the short trip. I used a few contacts of mine to arrange some shoot locations and places we could stay which made the trip extra special and enhanced the images. One of the highlights of that week was spending 2 nights in Harlosh Black H located on the west side of Skye overlooking the Cullins.
We ate some great seafood enjoyed the finest Scottish roads in questionable driving conditions and of course soaked up the breathtaking views and weather.
Here’s a selection of my favourite images from the trip, thanks to Aston Martin for the opportunity and thanks to Dad for all your help and commitment washing the car in Sub 0 and endless help.
