Community and Third Sector Photography
As well as being a professional photographer, I have worked in community fundraising and development roles within the third sector for many years. This gives me a unique understanding of charities and community organisations, and the importance of creating authentic imagery that supports fundraising, communications, impact reporting and storytelling.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working alongside inspiring charities and community organisations including Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity, The Junction Young People's Health and Wellbeing, Artlink Edinburgh and the Lothians, Maggie's, The Yard and The Menopause Cafe. Whether documenting events, creating photography for websites and publications, supporting fundraising campaigns or capturing images for funders and the press.
With a relaxed and friendly approach, I help people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities feel comfortable in front of the camera. By building genuine connections with participants, volunteers, staff and supporters, I create natural, engaging images that celebrate your community, showcase your impact and help tell your story.
"Vicki was fantastic at capturing the moment. Her photographs are beautiful, and she's a wonderfully friendly character to have in workshops and events. She immediately puts people at ease, soaks up the atmosphere, and is able to capture what's happening beautifully. Thanks, Vicki!"
