Glasgow Documentary Photography Value Statement
At Glasgow Documentary Photography, I believe in the power of visual storytelling to illuminate truth, foster empathy, and preserve the authentic spirit of everyday life. My work is guided by these core values:
Integrity: I am committed to honest, respectful, and ethical representation of the people and communities I photograph.
Empathy: I approach every story with compassion and a deep respect for the lived experiences of others.
Authenticity: I strive to capture unfiltered moments that reflect the raw, unvarnished reality of my subjects.
Community: I celebrate the richness of Glasgow and beyond, amplifying voices that deserve to be seen and heard.
Curiosity: I am driven by a desire to explore, understand, and share the diverse narratives that shape our world.
Social Justice and Equality: I am dedicated to highlighting issues of social justice and advocating for equality through my work.
Documentary Photography Ethics: I adhere to principles of consent, collaboration, and respectful storytelling, ensuring that every image is rooted in trust and ethical representation. Although some of my work is candid, I apply ethical standards to ensure that every image respects the dignity and privacy of my subjects.
Through my lens, I aim not just to document, but to connect, challenge, and inspire.
