The Glasgow Gallery of Photography
Open Call
Glasgow Photography Zine
The Glasgow Gallery of Photography invites photographers to submit work for a forthcoming photography zine celebrating Glasgow.
This publication will bring together a wide-ranging portrait of the city: its people, streets, architecture, music, communities, weather, industry, nightlife, green spaces, rituals, and everyday moments. We are interested in the many ways Glasgow is seen, felt, remembered, and imagined.
What does Glasgow mean to you?
It can be energetic or quiet, familiar or strange, proud or overlooked. Your images might document the city as it is, explore a personal connection to place, observe its changing landscape, or offer a new perspective on its character. From bold colour and striking compositions to intimate details, conceptual work, analogue photography, and documentary moments, we welcome a wide range of photographic approaches.
We invite photographers to share up to five images for consideration for the Glasgow Photography Zine.
Photographers do not need to be Glaswegians to submit.
The Glasgow Gallery of Photography is dedicated to supporting and showcasing photography and photographers at all stages of their practice. This zine will be a celebration of the photographers involved and a lasting record of the city through their eyes.
The publication will be available to buy through the gallery and online, and will be promoted across our social media and network contacts.
