shona perkins

Shona Perkins is a Professional Photographer, specialising in Seascape and Coastal Photography, known in particular for her use of intentional camera movement (ICM Photography). 

 

Heavily influenced by contemporary art and abstract minimalism, Shona has spent the past few years developing her passion and skill for ICM Photography.
 

Whilst largely self-taught, Shona 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 Shona and whilst ICM photography demonstrates a certain creative freedom and experimentation, Shona applies a considered, focussed and disciplined approach to her work ensuring the best results are achieved in camera.
 

Often described as creating a sense of calm through her imagery, Shona manages to capture emotional depth, solitude, tranquillity and haunting beauty in her work, all whilst maintaining her distinctive painterly style.


 Shona has also been recognised by global Brand Nisioptics and has been 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, Shona established her Business, My Beautiful Scotland in 2018 which showcases her stunning portfolio, leaving you in no doubt as to why Scotland has been voted one of the most beautiful Countries in the world.

ICM photography exhilarates me, excites me and most importantly, it challenges me in a way that invigorates positivity.
