# Solen Collet – Edinburgh Photographer & Artist
Solen Collet is an Edinburgh-based photographer and visual artist with over 12 years of professional experience, specialising in documentary wedding photography, intimate elopements and creative brand imagery. Operating from her Leith studio, she combines 35mm film and digital photography to produce natural, atmospheric work that prioritises authenticity and emotional resonance.
Her clientele comprises camera-shy couples, independent businesses, artists and culturally engaged clients seeking thoughtful visual storytelling rooted in genuine connection. She has particular expertise in small micro-weddings and elopements for non-traditional couples, alongside editorial and brand photography for local creative enterprises.
What distinguishes Solen is her dual practice as both photographer and visual artist—this crossover informs her entire approach to image-making. She champions grassroots arts and cultural engagement, deliberately working with clients who share values around slow production, intentional storytelling and local connection rather than mass-market aesthetics. Her membership with Scottish Screen Alliance, inclusion in specialist directories (Rebel Love, Love My Dress, Junebug Weddings) and recognition by Visual Arts Scotland underscores her standing within Scotland's creative community.
Her photography methodology prioritises relaxed, intimate moments over staged formality, blending documentary sensibilities with analogue aesthetics to create work that feels honest, timeless and emotionally authentic. Rather than pursuing high-volume weddings, Solen deliberately limits her client base to enable genuine collaboration and careful, considered image-making that reflects both her artistic vision and her clients' values.
