Legends aren’t born.

They are made.

What if you could become part of Scottish history, not by reading about it, but by creating your own story?

Lost Folklore creates cinematic fantasy photoshoots in Edinburgh, the Scottish Countryside and Highlands, transforming you into the hero of your own legend. Imagine sweeping through ancient castle grounds in a flowing ballgown, wielding a sword beneath centuries-old stone arches, or standing against the wild, misty landscapes of the Highlands.

Lost Folklore is about more than beautiful photographs. It's about the feeling of becoming someone extraordinary, even if only for an afternoon.

We believe everyone has a story worth telling. You might dream of being a queen in an enchanted kingdom, a knight returning from battle, a mysterious wanderer, a romantic heroine or simply a version of yourself that feels bold, powerful and free.

Together, we'll turn that inspiration into a visual story.

Where we Shoot

Edinburgh is a city made for stories. With its atmospheric Old Town, winding cobbled streets, dramatic stone architecture and centuries of history, it's the perfect setting for a fantasy photoshoot that feels as though you've stepped into another world.

Our Edinburgh Photoshoots combine the city's historic character with your own imagination to create portraits that feel cinematic, timeless and entirely personal.

Beyond the city lies a landscape shaped by mountains, mist, ancient stories and untamed beauty. The Scottish countryside provide an extraordinary backdrop for fantasy photography, where every glen, ruined castle, rugged hillside and atmospheric landscape feels like the beginning of an epic tale.

Our Countryside Photoshoots are designed for those who dream of creating something truly cinematic. Imagine a flowing gown caught in the Highland wind, a sword held against a dramatic mountain backdrop, or a solitary figure standing in the landscape like a character from Scottish folklore.
