# Richard Mountney Photography Ltd

Richard Mountney Photography Ltd is an award-winning advertising photography and video production studio based in Edinburgh, boasting over 45 years of industry experience. The business specialises in high-end commercial content creation across still life, drinks, liquid, and people photography—serving advertising agencies, brands, and creative teams requiring sophisticated visual storytelling.

Richard is recognised for his technical mastery and meticulous control of light, delivering polished, professional imagery that elevates brands across multiple platforms. The studio excels at translating ambitious creative briefs into tangible visual assets, whether through straightforward product shots or complex set builds requiring custom-built rigs and precision engineering.

What distinguishes this business is its dual expertise in both stills and motion content. Richard seamlessly bridges photography and videography, treating both as storytelling mediums rather than separate disciplines. This cross-platform capability allows clients to develop cohesive campaigns for television, digital, out-of-home advertising, and social media from a single creative partner.

The studio's specialisation in liquid and drink photography is particularly notable—capturing fleeting moments of perfection through advanced motion control systems, layered post-production, and obsessive attention to detail. Additionally, Richard pioneers cinemagraph production, creating hypnotic looped visuals that combine photographic and video elements for digital billboards and online use.

In-house retouching, pre-production strategy, and collaborative workflow with creative teams ensure comprehensive project delivery.
