Shona Perkins

I am heavily influenced by contemporary art and abstract minimalism, which is where I draw my inspiration from for much of my work.  This inevitably lead to my exploration of creating my own vision through the use of intentional camera movement. A technique that can create serene and painterly results.

Whilst largely self-taught, I previously enrolled with the British Academy of Photography gaining a greater knowledge of the fundamentals and complexities of digital photography.
 

Technique is extremely important to me and whilst ICM photography demonstrates a certain creative freedom and experimentation, I tend to apply a considered, focussed and disciplined approach to my work ensuring the best results are achieved in camera.
 

Often described as creating a sense of calm through my imagery, I aim to capture emotional depth, solitude, tranquillity and haunting beauty in my work, all whilst maintaining a consistent and cohesive aesthetic with a delicate and  painterly quality.

I was recently recognised by global Brand Nisioptics and I am proud to be a Brand Ambassador since January 2024 as well as more recently teaming up with one of the UKs leading photography workshop providers Dawn 2 Dusk. 

Known as an inspirational leader and speaker, I established My Beautiful Scotland in 2018 and I love nothing more than leading workshops across Scotland, showcasing the unimaginable raw beauty, leaving you in no doubt as to why Scotland has been voted one of the most beautiful Countries in the world.
