Growing up in Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city, photographer Soo Burnell constantly found inspiration in the iconic buildings and architecture surrounding her. Following a project at Glenogle Baths, a pool she swam in as a child, Soo was reintroduced to the beauty of the architecture and the serenity found in these spaces. Soo began photographing other landmark pools in Edinburgh with the intention of capturing their striking architecture and, by contrast, the stillness housed within.

This led to her first exhibition, poolside, in 2018. Since then, Soo has gone on to photograph many historic pools across the UK and in Europe, and these images can be found in Soo’s first book, To The Water, which was published in 2021.
Recently, Soo launched her Cinema collection, showcasing two cinemas: The Scotsman Picture House in Edinburgh and the Regent Street Cinema in London, both of which were chosen for their architecture and historical references. This summer, Soo will release and exhibit her new collection, I am home, returning her focus to Edinburgh’s dramatic architecture with some of her favourite spaces, all captured with her distinctive aesthetic.
Over the last four years, Soo's work has been exhibited work all over the world, New York, Paris, Berlin, London, Ostend, Tokyo, and Seoul.
Soo’s work has been featured in numerous publications, including Accidentally Wes Anderson's book, Elle Decor, Time Out, Plain magazine. AiT, Hidden Scotland and more.
