New Zealand travels 1
New Zealand has been a dream for me for many years , shortly after graduating from Glasgow my intention had been to move to NZ but for various reasons its taken me 30 years to finally get here. The flights and timezone travels are a bummer and it took me 5 days to get into […]
Naomi Buys
A few weeks ago I spent some time with Jordan and Naomi Buys , 2 friends that I’ve known through various photoshoots over the years and also 2 of the countries top climbers, the fact that they’re a handsome couple and very easy to photograph makes it a very easy job to shoot with them. […]
Ski Touring Ecrins
Just got back from a ski touring trip to the beautiful Ecrins region of the French S Alps. Its a place I’ve visited many times before in winter for ice climbing and in the summer for rock climbing and white water paddling. It has some of the best paddling in France and seemingly rock everywhere […]
Free running and parkour shoot
A few weeks ago , Elinchrom contacted me to ask if I’d be happy to be filmed during one of my photoshoots , in order to feature the advantages of using the new EL Skyport HS trigger. Now, I’m happy being filmed and talking to camera, it doesn’t really bother me so was happy to […]
2015 round up
Well, here we are , the beginning of a New year , a time to look back and look forward. Normally a year whizzes by for me , but 2015 lasted a lifetime and was certainly an intense time and not one I’d want to revisit again any time soon. But apart from personal stuff […]

You can read about the first shoot here http://www.nadirkhan.co.uk/blog/naked-mountain/ But looking at […]
Naked Mountain
Last moth I was doing a shoot on Skye with the very talented Ayla Rose , a model from Suffolk whose work I had seen and thought she would be perfect for the sort of images I had in mind. I guess the idea for the shoot came a bit from a series called Stone […]
Skye
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working with Glenmore lodge shooting their scrambling course based on Skye for the upcoming Summer brochure. Skye is a place , probably out of everywhere that I’ve photographed, that never fails to inspire , whatever the weather. The night I was driving over the clouds were […]
Another very late blog post : o
In March and April I was busy shooting a commission for a client, specifically the areas of Cumbria and North Wales. It was a very last minute thing that I got a call a week before and luckily I had time to shoot Cumbria before going to Morzine with Jared. The brief was to capture […]
The Hurting
Seems a while since I sat down to write up my blog and realised I had quite a backlog of stuff and images to talk about. I had posted one of the images from Ines’s ascent of The Hurting shortly after she climbed the route but then didn’t put anymore up as there were a […]
