Still Photography Norward Inglis began with still photography, concentrating on industrial work around Scotland, preferring this to portraiture and wedding commissions. He worked, initially with 4in x 5in glass slides, from which he made some very large prints, the largest being 18ft. x 40 ins on Kodak paper. He took many photos in the Usher Hall, of the performances in the early years of the Edinburgh Festival. He also took some atmospheric photos of scenes around Edinburgh around the 1950s. |

Views of Edinburgh Norward also took some attractive views of Edinburgh during the late 1940s and 1950s. These included some night-time scenes of floodlit Edinburgh, and some fine views from high vantage points, including the tower of the North British Hotel and the dome of St George's Church in Charlotte Square.
