Ross Murray Photography

Ross Murray is a portrait specialist based in Bonnyrigg, offering a considered, people-first approach to studio and on-location portrait photography. With a background of adventurous travel and working outdoors, Ross brings an easygoing energy to every session — helping subjects feel relaxed and natural so honest, expressive images can emerge. Why choose Ross Murray for your portrait or headshot? Ross focuses on capturing authentic character rather than stiff poses. Whether you want a clean, professional headshot for LinkedIn and business profiles or a more personal environmental portrait that reflects your interests, Ross tailors the shoot to your personality and goals. His style favours natural light and simple, timeless compositions that work across professional and personal uses. How he works: each portrait session begins with a friendly conversation about your brief — the tone you want, the platform the images will be used on, and any wardrobe or location ideas. Sessions can take place in the Bonnyrigg studio-style setup or on location around Edinburgh and the surrounding area. Ross aims to create a calm, encouraging atmosphere so even camera-shy clients feel at ease. He offers guidance on posing, expression, and what to wear, and adapts lighting and backdrops to suit the look you want. What you get: clear, professional images designed for real-world use — from LinkedIn and company profiles to personal branding and portfolios. Ross believes great portraits are collaborative: he listens, suggests direction, and captures those in-between moments that reveal personality. Local knowledge and flexibility: based just outside Edinburgh, Ross understands the best spots and lighting across the city and nearby towns, and regularly shoots both in studio-style settings and on location. He welcomes enquiries from individuals and professionals across the Edinburgh area and is happy to discuss specific needs or ideas.
