Hi, I’m Caitlin Wilkinson.
I’m a photographer, mountain biker and the person behind Caitographs, based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
So, where did the name come from? It’s really not that complicated. Cait is my nickname, I take photographs, and somewhere along the way the two became Caitographs. A simple play on words that became the name behind everything I create.
Photography has been part of my life since 2012, and mountain biking later on became a big part of it too. I love the sport, the people, the places it takes me, and, of course, having a camera to hand when things get interesting.
I have a background in commercial photography, with experience spanning video, design and digital content. Over the years, I’ve worked across different creative projects, but I’ve always come back to what I enjoy most: making images that tell a story and give people a reason to stop scrolling.
Caitographs is where all of that comes together. From bikes and race weekends to other photography and creative work, I like keeping things considered, a little unconventional and true to the subject.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably out riding, thinking about some entirely unnecessary change to my bike setup, or looking for coffee.
Have a project in mind, or just want to make something good?
Get in touch!
My Approach
Look a little closer.
For me, good creative work starts with understanding what you're looking at.
Being a mountain biker myself, I know there's more to the sport than what happens in front of the camera. It's the choice of line, the split-second decisions, the conditions, the people and all the little details that make each ride different. Knowing the sport from the inside helps me look beyond the obvious and capture the moments that matter.
That curiosity carries through into everything I do. I'm interested in how things work, what makes them different and the details that can easily be overlooked. Whether I'm behind the camera, exploring new kit or putting my thoughts into words, I like to get a proper feel for the subject rather than just scratch the surface.
My background in commercial photography and digital media has taught me to think about both the creative and technical sides of a project. But I'm not interested in making things complicated for the sake of it. I want the end result to feel considered, honest and true to what I'm trying to capture.
Sometimes that means being in the right place at the right time. Other times, it means taking a step back, trying something different or paying attention to the details.
There's no single formula for good work. Just curiosity, a bit of experimentation and a genuine interest in getting it right.
