About Steven Gourlay

I'm Steven Gourlay, an experienced camera operator based in Ullapool, in the north-west Highlands of Scotland. I've been running my own small media company since 2013, working across photography, drone filming, and video production-often in some of the most remote and spectacular parts of the country.

I started out in photography, but over the years I've expanded into commercial drone work-operating DJI Inspire 2 and Inspire 3

I'm Steven Gourlay, an experienced camera operator based in Ullapool, in the north-west Highlands of Scotland. I've been running my own small media company since 2013, working across photography, drone filming, and video production-often in some of the most remote and spectacular parts of the country.

I started out in photography, but over the years I've expanded into commercial drone work-operating DJI Inspire 2 and Inspire 3 drones-and offering ground and vehicle-based filming. My aim has always been to provide a complete, reliable service for clients, whether that's a few striking aerial shots or a full video package, from filming through to final edit.

I've worked with a wide range of clients, including broadcasters like the BBC, Channel 4, STV and Discovery, as well as smaller independent projects and local businesses.

I usually work independently and handle all aspects of a project myself; however, I am practical, flexible, and also able to work effectively in a team environment.

If you're looking for someone with a mix of hands-on experience, technical skill, and a genuine love of the Highlands, feel free to get in touch.
