The Glasgow Gallery of Photography is running an exhibition in June called Still Life/Found Object.  

Still life is one of the fundamental genres not just in photography but in art as a whole and the still life images that are produced can be wide and varied.

Some follow the classic sets that can be found in art and others try to change things up and try more modern set ups.

We are also including Found Objects as part of this exhibition. When objects are found and photographed in situ outside a studio context.

Still Life/Found Object is an open call for photographers to submit up to 8 images.

Photographers who are selected will have their work displayed 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 and will also 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.
