MY WORK WITH RYANS OF EDINBURGH

Ryan's Bar opened on Hope Street in Edinburgh's West End in 1989 and became one of the most established venues in the area. It later rebranded as West End Brasserie before returning to its roots as Ryans of Edinburgh.

I have been working with the venue since 2021, across multiple chapters of its story, producing food and drink photography, menu photography, promotional campaign photography and video, and live action content covering their Saturday sessions with folk live music. The kind of content that shows what the venue actually feels like on a busy night, not just what the food looks like on a plate.

A venue that has lived several chapters needs photography that keeps up with every one, from menu shoots to folk sessions on a Saturday night. Working on your pub's next chapter? Say hello.
