He’s used to photographing Britain’s most famous family – but now he’s turned his lens on a community that couldn’t be further removed from the public eye.
Matt Porteous, the royal photographer behind Prince William and Kate Middleton’s official family photographs, has captured pictures of the residents of Scotland’s remote Knoydart peninsula for his latest project.
Set along the country’s beautiful western coast, the extremely isolated community of Knoydart can only be reached by boat – there’s a ferry service from the Highland village of Mallaig – or via a challenging two-day hike. Populated by just over 100 residents, it’s home to what the Guinness World Records declares as Britain’s most remote mainland pub – The Old Forge.
As part of the series, Matt sent a drone over the peninsula’s breathtaking landscape and photographed a local ranger, a skipper and a hotel owner.
