Buy a ticket here.

We asked Euan the following questions.

Tell us about yourself
I’ve been photographing musicians for around 14 years. I started documenting crazy shows with Detour Scotland and progressed to be T in The Park photographer and later on the TRNSMT & Connect teams. I’ve photographed more shows than I could count. At some point along the way I started photographing portraits for artist’s promo materials and album releases. I’ve worked with some of the very best trad bands in the country and never tire of spending time in the company of such talented musicians.

Why are you involved in Scottish music?
Scottish music was the very reason I developed a passion for photography. Documenting bands on and off stage was where my interest was piqued and that hasn’t diminished in all the time I’ve been doing it. The creativity and wealth of talent in Scotland is almost unbelievable. There’s always somebody new to discover.

Any particular career highlights?
I’ve been lucky enough to work with some of my heroes, and each of those instances are special to me. Going from being a fan in the crowd to photographing on stage is always a pinch yourself moment.

What are your plans for the future?
I’ve done bits and pieces of video over the years but would love to start working on some documentary projects and music videos. My first love is always going to be photos and seeing my work on the cover of albums is an unrivalled high, so lots more of that!
