So you want to be a better story-teller?
Here's how I can support you.
I. Storytelling Workshops
Does diving deeper in to what makes your vision unique, gaining an insight in to my process as an artist, learning how to craft stories from your sessions in real time, and learning techniques I use to create cinematic galleries sound like something you need in your life? These workshops might just be what you're searching for.
These full day, mindfulness focused workshops will begin with a lesson on a variety of topics such as storyboarding or colour theory. This will be followed by a mindfulness practice such as yoga, meditation or sound bathing in order to bring us into our best creative headspace. Then, we will embark on a story-telling photoshoot and editing session where we will come together to practice new skills, edit together, and share our learning with one another.
A day to be curious, get creative, and build a community of likeminded artists who are sure to become friends.

Introducing,
The Storyteller Society
A place for curiosity, creativity & community.
Scotland Story-Telling Photography Workshops
There's a void in photography education in the UK, and I want to fill it. Something not focused on weddings or elopements or luxury and glamour but rooted in real relationships and the beauty of everyday life. I want what I offer to make you curious to take part. To help foster creativity when you're with me. And most of all, to create community between all of us as artists. Whether you're a beginner, hobbyist or professional, these workshops will serve you no matter what stage of your journey you're on. I am determined to create a space without competition, without cliques, a space that celebrates of everyone for exactly what they are right now, and to spread the joy of mindful practice. In another life, pre-covid, I taught yoga, and I feel this pull to yolk my creative art with the practice so you'll see that woven through all of my offerings and even if it's not something you usually do, I hope you feel drawn to give it a try. Come curious, create and connect.
'Falling Leaves'
centred around a romantic, autumnal couple's photoshoot in beautiful country estate in Perth
wednesday 9th september, bardmony estate, Ph11 8ny, 10am til 4pm
Join me for a mindful, soul-filling workshop where we will come together to create. Begin the day with a lesson on story-boarding, self-reflection, and individual gallery reviews. Then, participate in a yin yoga and meditation practice to allow your mind to arrive at a place best suited for creativity. Then, a break for a lovely, wholesome catered lunch. Followed by a styled shoot with a beautiful real couple around the estate. Thinking falling autumn leaves, running through gardens, lying in meadows, and reading love letters in front of the fire, Noah Kahan. Finally, finish with a cinematic editing tutorial, edit a succinct gallery and share it with your new friends for wonderful feedback and celebration of everything we've created together. I'll be leading the whole day so you'll be able to ask me any questions you have and get advice on shooting, editing, or anything else you may need. These workshops are designed for beginners to pros, come with what you know and leave with more.
'Invisible Threads'
centred around a whimsical couple's photoshoot about the red thread theory
monday 9th november 2026, riddles court, EH1 2PG, 10am til 4pm
The second workshop offering centred around the theory that we are all interconnected by invisible threads that tether us from one life to the next. In my eyes, a beautifully romantic notion that deserves to be documented. Begin the day with a lesson on storytelling through details & cropping, self-reflection, and individual gallery reviews. Then, participate in a sound bath and meditation practice to allow your mind to arrive at a place best suited for creativity. This is followed by a break for a lovely, wholesome catered lunch. Then, our styled shoot with a beautiful real couple and their thread. Think dancers, fog machines, emotionally jarring poses combined with intimate moments, soft woods, flowy white dresses, Lana del Rey. Finally, finish with a cinematic editing tutorial, edit a succinct gallery and share it with your new friends for wonderful feedback and celebration of everything we've created together. I'll be leading the whole day so you'll be able to ask me any questions you have, get advice on shooting, editing, anything you need. These workshops are designed for beginners to pros, come with what you know and leave with more.
Hey, I'm Kate!
MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Story-teller & Documentary-Style
PHOTOGRAPHER
I photograph feelings.
I'm so grateful you're here! I'm Kate, a documentary-style, story-telling, cinematography obsessed photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
My work is rooted in my love for books, films, and the stories you see woven together by the universe everyday in real life. Every piece of art I consume I use this as fuel to create from. I'm passionate about literature and cinema so, I've woven these passions in to my work. I want to help you to do the same.
I'm self-taught, and I truly believe this puts me in a prime position to help educate others as I get it. I've been there. Probably worked through similar issues you're working through with your own photography right now.
In my previous role I was a career counsellor, helping people realise their passion, their strengths, and identifying where they could build and improve to create the life they wanted. I also trained and worked as a yoga teacher so you will find some of these ancient philosophies of ego-shedding, turning inwards, and self-reflection appearing in much of my educational work.
In all, I'm incredibly passionate about helping you find your passion, create work that you can't stop thinking about, and to give your clients photographs that they can only dream of.
