Who we are
James Walker is the founder, photographer and producer at Cairn Visuals.
After a 25 year career as a police officer, James has been working as a photographer since 2018 although he has been taking photographs for over three decades.
A lifetime of public service does not just evaporate overnight so he was naturally drawn to using photography as a means to connect services and people who need them. While commercial clients help pay the bills, James’ passion sits squarely in the community.
Clients include The Heritage Trust Network, The Coalfields Community Landscape Partnership and We Make Kilmarnock.
It was through these projects that the idea of launching a social enterprise was born.
