The Photographers
An incredible partnership of two masters of photography

Ranald Mackechnie
Best known for his portraits of the British Royal Family – including official images of the late Queen Elizabeth that were released for her 90th birthday, Platinum Jubilee, and state funeral – Ranald’s prestigious portfolio of clients also includes sporting superstars, politicians, actors and Apollo astronauts.
Ranald has also worked extensively in the UAE, capturing official images of many of the country’s most pre-eminent figures.
He says – “I love being a photographer. It has been an incredible privilege to have spent my life photographing amazing people all over the world. Every time I pick up my camera it is my aim to create a portrait that is worthy of hanging on a gallery wall.”

John Hope
Having cut his teeth in the world of weddings, John has developed a commercial photography career that has seen him work across Europe and extensively throughout the UAE over the past ten years.
John is renowned for his ability to capture real life and energy in his photos, and for his mastery in manipulating light. He is a leading voice within the industry, speaking regularly at workshops and conferences, and the recipient of countless industry awards and accolades.
He says – “I’ve never been one for the static and the over-staged. It’s capturing people, character and personality in my work that excites me. Making pictures that invoke an emotional reaction is what gets me up in the morning. And I’m always excited to shoot events – it’s exciting and varied work that really plays to my strengths.”
