The opening evening and first full day as Official Photographer at the first Turing Festival – a very special event for the movers and shakers in the digital world – entrepreneurs, developers, managers and creative thinkers came together to discuss and debate the future of the web and to raise international awareness of Scotland’s digital talent. Commissioned by Interactive Scotland / Edinburgh Science Triangle.
