Artist Statement

Hi, I’m Scott Glasgow—a social documentary photographer based in the coastal town of Largs, Scotland. Through my lens, I seek to capture the quiet truths and raw beauty of everyday life. My work is rooted in social realism, driven by a deep belief in the power of photography to connect, to witness, and to care.

I’m drawn to people and places that tell stories—stories of resilience, joy, struggle, and change. Whether I’m documenting a political protest, a community celebration, or a fleeting moment on a city street, I aim to preserve the emotional heartbeat of the scene. My candid style allows me to step gently into these moments, capturing them as they unfold, unfiltered and real.

Photography is more than a craft for me—it’s a way of seeing, of listening, and of being present. It supports my own wellbeing and gives me a way to engage meaningfully with the world. I’m especially passionate about working with individuals, community groups, and voluntary organisations to create visual narratives that matter. Together, we can build a photographic language that speaks to your values, your mission, and your truth.

You’ll find a range of my work in the Portfolio and Gallery pages—from long-term projects to spontaneous street captures. Each image is a piece of a larger story, a thread in the fabric of shared human experience. I also share my thoughts and process through my blog and YouTube channel, where I hope to spark conversation, reflection, and connection.

Though I’m based in Scotland, my work has taken me across the UK and Europe—from the streets of Glasgow and Dublin to the alleys of Brussels and Helsinki. Wherever I go, I carry the same intention: to see with empathy, and to photograph with heart.

If you have a story to tell, I’d be honoured to help you tell it.

I hope you enjoy the website.

Scott
