Identity Exhibition

The Glasgow Gallery of Photography is running an exhibition in December called Identity.

​Identity is a broad and versatile theme that can be explored through many photographic genres. Portraits can express personal or collective identity, documentary work can reveal the experiences of individuals or groups, and even landscapes or cityscapes can reflect the environments that shape who we are.

How we identify and how we express that identity, varies widely. It may be rooted in culture, religion, place, community, hobbies, or countless other influences. For this exhibition, we invited photographers to explore identity in all its forms, whether reflecting their own or telling the story of someone else’s.

Season of Photography 2026 is a celebration of photography in Scotland running from 1 September – 20 December 2026.
