Glasgow’s Summer Photobook Kickstarter

The next chapter in my portrait of the city is now live! Click on the video below to hear a bit about it, then hit the wee K symbol or click here to head straight to the Kickstarter page.

After a year of hard work, my seasonal portrait of the city is almost complete! Glasgow's Summer captures the city, it's people, and all the colour and warmth that Summer brings. Shot on my 35mm half-frame camera for that fuzzy nostalgic look, it's a combination of street photography, community, sunsets, dancing, and dogs. Like the previous installments, my photographs are arranged in pairs from Sunrise to Sunset, charting the season as if it were a single day.

Glasgow’s Summer follows right from where the Spring edition left off, mirroring Winter, and leading back into Autumn. Each book stands alone, but as a whole they link together to tell the story of the city, with subtly recurring themes and ideas threaded between each book, evolving with the shifting of the seasons. Each season has its own cat too!

All of these books were made possible by the incredible support of Kickstarter. The community which has grown around this project really has been the driving force behind it. This is why I chose to publish the final installment via the platform, and also why I have included all four seasons as add-on rewards, so you can grab a box set!

Glasgow’s Summer is already at the printers, meaning that I will be able to ship copies out as soon as the campaign ends on December 5th - making the Glasgow Box Set a perfect Christmas gift for anyone who loves this gallus city.

So if you haven’t already, please head along to the Kickstarter page for a look at some of the photos within the book. Thank you so much to all of you who have already backed it, and shared it with your friends - you’re legends!
