Born and brought up in Glasgow, Scotland, by the age of 18 Ian was DJing by night and studying photography by day. In his second year as a photographer, the BBC made a TV programme about him called A Style of Ones Own.

He then became Artist in Residence for Photography at the Glasgow School of Art and in 1990 held a show representing Glasgow as part of its City of Culture programme.

Soon after came his first album cover for Wet Wet Wet followed by a series of portraits for Vidal Sassoon that were published in American Vogue.

Ian moved to London in 91 and continued his successful career shooting portraits of artists, celebrities and real people.

Known for his natural, no-gimmicks style, Ians images are authentic, honest and strikingly expressive.
