Ivon Bartholomew
Ivon loves life, as a busy freelance commercial photographer, photojournalist and father of a beautiful baby girl. Keeping a keen and constant eye on current events in Edinburgh, he is often seen capturing milestone moments as they occur in the town and his images have appeared in the national and international press. Throughout the year, Ivon produces work for a range of commercial clients, such as the National Galleries of Scotland, Standard Life Investments, YouthLink Scotland and Radio Forth.

Karl Chapman
Karl is General Manager of the Usher Hall and has worked in the music industry for nearly 20 years touring with and presenting some of the world's greatest musicians. He has loved taking photographs since receiving a Kodak Instamatic on a birthday sometime in the 1970s when Slade, Mud and Abba were topping the charts and he dreamed of getting a Raleigh Chopper. Like his musical tastes, his photography bookshelf is varied and his negative file and PC a diverse and sprawling mix of images. While appreciating that the image is what matters, he loves dark rooms, old or plastic cameras, and the alchemical nature of film photography.

Winter Wonderland, Tony Davey

Tony Davey
Tony is the Managing Director of the software company Red61, whose ticketing software VIA is at the heart of many Fringe venue box offices. This year the company entered into a partnership with the Fringe itself. When not at work, Tony is usually thinking about work. But at least he manages to accomplish the latter over a pint. He has been taking photographs since 2007 and is now rarely to be found without his camera by his side. His photographs record his life in this festival city, the people he meets and places he works. People are a recurring theme; they are captured as they go about the everyday and the extraordinary.

Katja Hasler
Katja leads the Screening and Immunisation Programme at NHS Health Scotland, creating information and communication campaigns to support informed uptake. In her spare time, when not working on finishing a Masters in Public Health and cycling up hills, she's on the Board of Directors of the Edinburgh Hispanic Festival and of All or Nothing dance and aerial theatre company; and the enthusiastic friend, mentor and supporter of various other creative individuals based in Edinburgh and further afield, as well as the author of the kat-a-log, an incidental, idiosyncratic and pretty random e-bulletin announcing the artistic activities of her friends and acquaintances. And the thread running through it all is a photographic obsession with recording her progress through life. Often from an odd and blurry perspective.

The Party's Over, Anita Irvine

Anita Irvine
Anita is Ticketing Services Manager for Edinburgh’s Usher Hall. Her role there allows her to work in a creative industry whilst simultaneously satisfying her inner control freak. When not at work, she will often be found listening to obscure electronica. She likes things that drone and buzz and click. She doesn’t know why. Frustration about her inability to draw, sing, dance or play a musical instrument ebbed away when she picked up a camera in 2007. Anita is drawn to repeating patterns, reflections, seventies architecture and blue rope.

Cranes, David Johnston

David Johnston
A lifelong Edinburgher, David runs a recording studio in Leith working mainly with advertising agencies as well as film and television production companies. When not doing voice-overs for furniture shops and eye-surgery clinics you’ll usually find him skulking around with his camera desperately trying to fulfill his “one-photo-a-day” quota.

Spotlight, Rebecca Peppiette

Rebecca Peppiette
Rebecca manages one of the Arts Development Units at the City of Edinburgh Council, supporting a range of Festivals and venues across the city. Having previously also worked in a number of arts organisations including the Fringe and BBC, she’s dedicated to working in the arts and enjoys all this throws at her on a daily basis. Rebecca’s photography has a reflexive dimension and often focuses on representative places.

Wilsons, Colin Usher

Colin Usher
Colin has been an Edinburgh based freelance photographer since 1988. He initially worked with theatre and dance companies in the city such as X Factor, Royal Lyceum, Theatre Workshop, Boilerhouse and Benchtours. He ended up working with The Face magazine (their Scotland photographer) and has spent over eight years working closely with The Proclaimers on their visual media. He continues to capture and exhibit stills as well as develop his new interest in 3D modeling and visualization.
