ExhibitionThe Glasgow Gallery of Photography is running a month long exhibition in October called Blue. One of the three traditional Primary Colours (along with Red and Yellow) Blue is a colour that surrounds us in our day to day lives, the planet is even referred to as the “Blue Planet”. We are asking for photographers to explore the colour Blue in their photography. From the sky and the oceans, to clothes people wear and the buildings they live in or the artificial light that is used to light a scene, we want to see a variety of images that explores the colour Blue. This theme is pretty open and all genres of photography are welcome, all that is required is the colour Blue.
This will be the first in a series of exhibitions exploring the primary colours through photography.
Blue is an open call for photographers to submit up to 8 images that meet the theme Blue.
Photographers who are selected will have their work displayed in a month long exhibition in our gallery, with their work also appearing online in an online gallery on our website.
All participants that are selected to take part in the exhibition will be put forward for a chance to be named Photographer of the Month.
We want to see work from both emerging and established photographers. You do not need to be a professional photographer to participate as we believe that photography is for everyone.
Both Scottish and International photographers are welcome.
