# Daniel Rannoch Photography
Daniel Rannoch is a portrait and branding photographer based in Edinburgh, specialising in creating meaningful, identity-focused imagery that goes beyond conventional portraiture. His distinctive approach combines contemporary portrait work with historical photographic processes, most notably tintype photography—a slow, deliberate method developed in the mid-1800s that produces timeless, authentic results.
What sets Daniel apart is his commitment to capturing not just likeness, but the deeper essence of identity, personality, and purpose. He views portraits as historical records that document who you are and how you wish to be seen at a particular moment in time. This philosophy extends to helping clients celebrate themselves, commemorate significant moments, or communicate important narratives. His work is particularly valuable for those wanting to explore cultural identity, document personal growth, or create meaningful gifts.
The tintype portrait experience is uniquely immersive—clients participate in the darkroom development process, making it as much about the creative journey as the final image. Daniel's background in storytelling across written, spoken, and visual mediums informs his people-centric approach. His varied international experience living in England, Ireland, France, and Scotland brings curiosity and an open perspective to every project.
He collaborates with Fern Photography for weddings and lifestyle work, allowing him to focus his energies on the intimate, purposeful portrait work and branding photography that defines his practice.
