# Laura Blaikie Illustration & Photography
Laura Blaikie is a Scottish illustrator and photographer based in Nairn who specialises in capturing the character of Scotland's landscapes, buildings, wildlife and flora. Her distinctive artistic approach combines intricate paper-cut techniques with hand-drawn and digital illustration, creating work that's both detailed and visually striking.
The business serves a diverse clientele, from individuals seeking bespoke commissioned illustrations and maps to customers purchasing ready-made products. Laura's work appeals to those who appreciate handcrafted, locally-produced Scottish art with environmental consciousness—her eco-cards are printed on 100% recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to sustainable practice.
What sets Laura apart is her unique hybrid approach to illustration. Rather than relying solely on digital design, she integrates labour-intensive paper-cutting with traditional drawing and modern digital techniques, resulting in artwork with genuine tactile authenticity. This craftsmanship extends to her cartographic work, where she creates bespoke maps that combine artistic flair with functional detail.
Her dual expertise in both illustration and photography provides versatility that appeals to commercial clients, interior designers and individuals seeking commemorative or gift items. The breadth of her portfolio—spanning architectural illustrations, wildlife studies and landscape maps—demonstrates range whilst maintaining a cohesive aesthetic rooted in Scottish scenery. By offering both limited-edition prints and custom commissions, Laura reaches both budget-conscious customers and those seeking personalised, premium work.
