Hi, I am Scott Glasgow and welcome to my photography site where you can view a sample of my photographic work, get a feel for who I am and make contact. I am keen to work with programmes of social change such as voluntary organisations, community groups and individuals. I can support you in providing a visual language through photography to aid communication with other parties, or simply document places and activities that are important to you.
My photographic work is social documentary photography and I am keen to work with organisations and individuals on projects. I document society, culture, behaviour, emotion, and moments in time through my photography in the style of social realism. Creating a record of general day to day life and societal issues in the places I visit, and on occasion seek out. Whilst pursuing my own projects and using photography to support my own wellbeing, my style lends itself to also representing in a photographic body of work anything that is important to you. This might be your event, workplace, hobby or family but the main factor is the relationship we can develop in order to capture images that tell your story. I have documented political protests, sporting events, community events, engagements and wedding photography. My favoured approach is candid which allows me to capture real moments that are affected as little as possible by the presence of a camera. I can capture events in images which will last a lifetime or be used for promotion on social media and websites. You can see some of my past and current projects in the portfolio pages, these vary from one day to long-term projects that I will continue to add to in order to develop a larger body of work. To see my generic street photography in which I capture individual moments and people that interest me, check out the Gallery page. You can see more of my work on Instagram and the Leica Photography Gallery (LFI) where I have had shots selected for the categories of Street, Europe, and Leica Q Master Shot galleries. My blog is intended to provide more narrative around projects, and general updates about me and my thoughts on photography. I have recently started YouTube as a new venture and a vlog to support the understanding of my photography and a platform to get to know me and engage with me, I hope it will be thought provoking and educational.
I am based in Largs which is North Ayrshire, Scotland, UK but will take on projects in the central belt and further afield if it is the correct fit for what I provide. In the last year or more I have had the opportunity to photograph in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, Belfast, Dublin, Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp, Helsinki and many more places in between. I enjoy exploring new places through the lens of the camera and feel that you really see a place when you have your photographic eye switched on. I am always working on personal projects and I am happy to have an informal discussion about your ideas and how we might work together. You can get in touch via my Contact page, I will respond at the earliest opportunity.
I hope you enjoy the website.
Scott
