At the end of March I had the absolute privilege to go to my home city of Dundee to take some portrait photographs of the actor Brian Cox. The purpose of the photo shoot was for Brian to lend his support for the forthcoming Amnesty International’s White Ribbon Scotland campaign. The campaign is to raise awareness of male on female domestic abuse and other forms of violence and in particular to encourage other men to lend their support and speak out against not only this type but all forms of violence.

Brian was in Dundee filming a documentary at the Verdant Works which is a museum in the city dedicated to the jute industry that was once one of the biggest of its kind in the world. Initially the shoot was meant to last just 5 minutes… a quick shot and then I was finished, but Brian and his agent were fantastic and insisted that I stick around and take further shots for them on set which I gladly did.

A sincere thanks to Amnesty International for the opportunity and for Brian and his agent and the Verdant Works.
