The Glasgow Gallery of Photography is running a digital exhibition in April called Macro.  

While we have displayed macro photographs as part of other exhibitions, this is a new theme that we have never had an entire exhibition explore before.

Getting close up and showing that which is difficult to see with the nake eye, marco photography brings to the big stage the drama of tiny subjects. Be that things from nature, like insects and plants, or things from our everyday lives, Macro photography brings a new perspective.

Macro is an open call for photographers to submit up to 8 images.

Photographers who are selected will have their work displayed digitally in our gallery, with their work also appearing in an online gallery on our website, as well as an exhibition catalogue.

​

All participants that are selected to take part in the exhibition will receive a digital certificate of participation.

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.

​​

How to participate: 

Submission are FREE.  If your work is selected there will be a participation fee of £22.00.

The submission deadline for this exhibition:  15th February 2026
