Working with progressive developer Hub, this was a photography assignment in support of a proposed ‘Build to Rent’ (BTR) development in vibrant Canonmills in the heart of Edinburgh, a short walk from Stockbridge and the city centre. With secure rental leases much sought after in Edinburgh the development offers apartments with creative studios, communal space, and landscaped areas. These images were made as part of a wider set capturing the character of the local area and nearby landmarks.
This was a nice brief to create a package of imagery from a well established and vibrant Edinburgh area highlighting local facilities in Canonmills and nearby Stockbridge; shops, streets, parks and lifestyle attractions. Working mainly on foot exploring the area whilst shooting handheld, it was refreshing not to be using as much kit as usual, and the images here are a selection from local cafes, shops and restaurants from nearby streets.
