Born and bred in N.E Scotland, Ken Rothnie’s photographic journey began in the late 1970s when Pennie Smith’s photographs of The Clash and Patrick Lichfield’s Unipart Calendar caught his eye. He joined his school’s photography club, set up a darkroom in his bedroom then went to work for local photographers. Following various roles in the industry and a slight detour to study publishing at the Robert Gordon University, Ken has worked for the past 20 years as a photographic surveyor in the oil and gas industry. When not photographing pipes and valves, Ken roams the streets of Aberdeen shooting the folk and fabric of the Granite City.
