Archival & Restoration - Coming Soon..!

Hi folks,

As a result of having plenty downtime lately, I decided to make an effort to begin archiving some family photos - those that were sitting in the back of cupboards almost forgotten about, some in bad shape and others gathering dust.

As part of the project I've been scanning prints and negatives, digitising and, where needed, restoring them in the process.

The photo below is a before and after example of my late grandad Jim, during his national service back in the 50's at RAF Cardington. My gran has had this photo since way back when and it was much in need of a little tlc.

With the next few months looking to be uncertain work-wise, and being able to do this archival and restoration process safely at home and contactless too, I'll be offering up this service and making prices available via my site as of next week.

I'm still figuring a few things out, but if you might be interested, or have any questions, feel free to get in touch either here or email hello@gavincraigie.com

Ainsley & Gustaf.

Long time no post!

Sooo... I shot a wedding.

Back in April I had the honour and pleasure to photograph the wonderful Ainsley and Gustaf's wedding in the Scottish capital.

As some will know, I'm not one to normally shoot a wedding but this was one where I decided to jump with both feet into (at long last).

Here's some photos from the day.

Tenement Trail 2017 - Glasgow

Last month I made the annual pilgrimage through to Glasgow for Tenement TV's Tenement Trail - labelled as Scotland's biggest festival for music discovery, with 10 venues hosting over 50 bands.

Here's some shots from the day!

Here's some shots of the day.

Model Aeroplanes XXX-Mas Party - Reading Rooms, Dundee

On Christmas Eve-Eve, The Reading Rooms in Dundee was host to MA's XXX-Mas Party. It was billed to be a sweaty and messy night, and it certainly lived up to expectations.

The LaFontaines // Model Aeroplanes - Tour

Last week I joined Model Aeroplanes for a couple dates as they supported Motherwell band, The LaFontaines.

The first stop of the Scottish leg of the tour was a trip up to Inverness. Once into the hills, we were treated to some cracking scenery. Definitely one of the more scenic cigarette stops.

Our second day was at The Mash House in Edinburgh.

We Are Scientists // Beverly // ST.MARTiiNS - Buskers, Dundee.

Going by the previous gig on Monday, I knew Wednesday's gig would be pretty special. 

I should probably note that the stage lighting at Buskers is often quite dim which unfortunately meant cranking the camera settings quite high - at one point shooting at ISO10000. (not an excuse for any rubbish shots)

Anyway, here's the shots!

Here's some shots from the night.

Riddle Magazine - 2 Year Anniversary.

On Wednesday there, I caught a flight with writer, Charlie Fletcher, and popped down to London to celebrate Riddle Magazine's 2nd birthday. We had a great few days in the capital and was really good to see some familiar faces along with some new ones! 

You can read some of Charlie's writing here:

Looking forward to working on some new projects.

In the mean time, here's a touristy shot from the South Bank.

Tenement Trail 2016

On Saturday past, Glasgow played host to Tenement TV's annual Tenement Trail showcasing an incredible dollop of new Scottish music across the city!

I travelled through with Dundee band ST.MARTiiNS to shoot some things for them as the played Broadcast, but thought it'd be rude to just stop there... 

Obviously it's near impossible to catch every act on over the course of the day, but I wasn't disappointed with the bands I did manage to see. (See below)

The night was rounded off in messy and sweaty style at Flat 0/1 with The Van T's headlining. 

(Shout out to Cameron Brisbane for letting me crash!)
