Capturing the Rhythm: Why 2026 is My Year for a Fresh Start!

It feels strange talking about it being a new year as I sit here in the middle of February, but that is exactly what it feels like. Every calendar year, for me, starts with Celtic Connections, Glasgow’s massive winter festival of traditional, World, and all sorts of other music too. It is an eclectic mixing bowl of culture and energy, and both a great opportunity for me, as a freelance photographer, to be busy and productive, and also a time of great pressure to be busy and productive - a time where I almost feel that I have to justify myself as a working photographer.
