Ross Nixon.
A practice of patience.
CaptureTime is the prints and editions house of Ross Nixon — a commercial, editorial and event photographer working out of Edinburgh, Glasgow and the wider Scottish Central Belt.
Every frame on this site was made by Ross. Every print is approved, numbered and signed by Ross. Every enquiry — by email, phone or post — is answered by Ross. There is no agency in the middle.
Meet Ross · A short biography
The person behind every frame.
Ross Nixon is a Scottish photographer based in Falkirk, working across Edinburgh, Glasgow and the wider Central Belt. He trades as Ross Nixon Photography for commercial, wedding and editorial commissions, and runs CaptureTime as the fine-art print and editions arm of the same practice.
He started out shooting motorsport at Knockhill and weddings for friends, moved into brand and editorial work for studios across the Central Belt, and now splits his time between commissioned briefs and the slower, personal landscape and architectural work that becomes the editions on this site.
Ross works alone. He answers his own phone, replies to his own emails, shoots every commission himself, and personally inspects, signs and numbers every print that leaves the studio. There is no second shooter, no assistant editor and no third-party lab — the name on the work is the person who made it.

About the photographer
Ross has spent the last several years photographing across Scotland — from the closes of the Old Town to the distilleries of Speyside, from Knockhill on a wet race weekend to the still water at Loch Lomond before sunrise. The commercial work pays for the cameras. The personal work ends up here.
Ross Nixon Photography has delivered work for over 150 clients across more than 300 commissioned projects — brand campaigns, product stills, event coverage, founder portraits — for studios and houses in Edinburgh, Glasgow and beyond.
CaptureTime exists for the other half of the work: the personal, the patient, the unrepeatable. The frames that earn a place on a wall.
Provenance · Every frame, by hand
Signed.
Numbered. Sealed.
Every print leaves the studio with Ross's pencil signature, the edition number, and a numbered Certificate of Authenticity carrying the title, location, year, paper, and the exact place in the edition.
Editions are small — 25 frames per image, never reprinted, never reopened. When the run closes, it closes for good.
The obsession · Off the clock
Engineering,
in motion.
When Ross isn't on a brief, he's photographing cars — the ones built without compromise. Carbon, alloy, paint that behaves like liquid in low light. The same patience he gives a portrait, applied to machinery that refuses to sit still.
By the numbers
The practice,
in figures.
“Speed has never made a picture better. Light has, and time has, and refusing to release the shutter until both are correct has.”
