On a more positive note... / by Rob Sutherland

The last couple of days have been crazy, and not in a good way. But just as I was feeling a wee bit despondent and those old imposter syndrome feelings started to creep in as they often do with us creative types, my lovely neighbour popped down (with my errant cat who was off on her adventures again) from the head of the glen. Along with my cat she had a screen grab from no lesser place than “The Times”, and to be more precise, it was from the Property Section.

Which is pretty high end stuff inhabited by the super successful who can breathe such rarified air!

This is what caught her eye.

Yes, that is my photograph… my name… and my business name… all displayed for anyone in the UK to see!

On this occasion I only shot the externals for the lovely Flora Badger, but they came out stunningly well and act as a reminder that I really should get that esoteric lens out the bag more often on property shoots! I stopped using it so much as it is a little tricky to operate and it really does succomb to sun flare like you wouldn’t believe - but when everything falls right it does produce such lovely photographs!

Anyway, this can add in to my marketing materials moving forward!

I am also starting to put together some ideas for a new “fine art” website which will feature print gallery sales and which may help launch me into more of the art market!
