Stories written in light
Sorbus Studios is an Edinburgh-based photography and video studio founded by Rowan Forster.
We work closely with artists, independent businesses and creative teams to produce considered, cinematic imagery with a strong sense of story. From editorial photography and brand campaigns to short-form video and social content, every project is carefully planned and shaped around the people, ideas and identity behind it. Our work has been published internationally and created in collaboration with clients across Scotland and beyond.
We also offer private photography tuition, group workshops and lectures on photography fundamentals.
Whether you are developing an editorial collection, launching a campaign or looking for a more distinctive way to present your work, we would love to help tell your story. Get in touch to discuss your next project.

“I've worked with Rowan on three editorial shoots now, with work published in magazines and awards picked up along the way.
What sets Rowan apart is the attention to detail. Every shot is considered, and nothing feels rushed or generic. Turnaround is fast without ever cutting corners, and Rowan talks you through every step of the process. As a barber doing editorial work, I need a photographer I can fully trust with the final result—Rowan is that person.
I wouldn’t work with anyone else.”
Luke Ellis, Sink & Anchor
