Scottish Photographers is an informal network of independent minded photographers, which aims to encourage the practice of photography as a means of personal expression as well as an art form; there is currently a membership of over two hundred including amateurs, professionals, students and academics from Scotland and beyond.
Providing an outlet for work not seen in traditional groups, Scottish Photographers crosses boundaries and provides a stimulus for those with little interest in competitions or distinctions or academic studies. Scottish Photographers avail themselves of a wide range of approaches and techniques from contemporary digital work to arcane and long forgotten processes.
Local meetings are held several times a year in Fife, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness and there is a Spring residential weekend at Inversnaid Photography Centre. Occasional workshops by leading photographers are organised, usually in Stills Gallery, Edinburgh and Street Level Photoworks in Glasgow.
A magazine, NOTES, is published three times a year and an e-mail newsletter, SPEM (Scottish Photographers’ E Mail), appears once a month, and features in the news section.
Why Scottish Photographers – a group which includes many avowed ‘non joiners’?
The answer may be given by Robert Adams:
“Your own photography is never enough. Every photographer who has lasted has depended on other people’s pictures too . . . “
