Margaret is known for making technical concepts easy to understand, removing jargon as a barrier for those who may feel intimidated by it.

Margaret Soraya’s lifelong love of the coast has led her to live and work in quiet coastal regions including the Welsh coast, Cornwall, the Scottish Highlands, and ultimately the Outer Hebrides. She is a professional wedding photographer, commissioned internationally, and her work has been featured in National Geographic Traveller, Rough Guides, Camera Craft, Professional Photographer, Outdoor Photography, and Scottish broadsheets. She runs photography workshops and retreats that encourage creativity, mindfulness, and wellbeing through time spent in the landscape. Margaret has recently completed the build of her new gallery on Harris, dedicated to her coastal work, which is due to open in 2026.
