Meet Thomas Lamont - The Kilted Photographer
Thomas, known as The Kilted Photographer, is an award-winning aerial and immersive photographer based in Falkirk, Scotland, recognised for capturing the nation’s landscapes, landmarks and atmosphere from truly distinctive perspectives.
His photographic journey began in 2015 with the purchase of his first DSLR camera, igniting a passion for Scotland’s history, heritage and natural beauty. That passion led to the creation of The Kilted Photographer — a brand devoted to storytelling through imagery and celebrating Scotland from ground level to sky.
Self-taught and shaped by years of hands-on experience, Thomas has refined a unique visual style defined by creativity, precision and place. Since moving into drone photography in 2017, he has become a fully insured commercial operator holding Operational Authorisation from the CAA. Alongside aerial imagery, he also specialises in 360° photography and immersive virtual tours, delivering richly interactive visual experiences that place viewers at the heart of the landscape.
From supplying fine art photographic products to working with organisations across Scotland and beyond, Thomas’s work has been featured in national media and international television documentaries. With a combined social media audience of over 250,000 followers across multiple platforms, his photography enjoys worldwide visibility through digital platforms and retail partners. Visitors from across the globe discover and purchase his work, giving his imagery and products a truly international presence. His achievements include multiple awards from the British Photography Awards, the Prestige Awards and the EZ Media Award of Excellence.
For clients seeking exceptional drone photography, videography, immersive 360° services or wholesale opportunities, Thomas offers a service as distinctive as the landscapes he captures. Enquiries are always welcome.
