ExhibitionThe Glasgow Gallery of Photography is running an exhibition in October called Ethereal.
We seek images that capture the otherworldly, the dreamlike, and the surreal. Whether through soft light, ghostly figures, atmospheric landscapes, or abstract compositions that evoke a sense of mystery and transcendence.
This open call is an opportunity to showcase work that pushes the boundaries of perception and transports viewers beyond the tangible world. All styles and techniques are welcome, from digital manipulations to traditional film photography.
Selected works will be exhibited at the Glasgow Gallery of Photography, celebrating the artistry of the unseen and the ephemeral.
Ethereal 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 online in an online gallery on our website.
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.
Submission are FREE. If your work is selected there will be a participation fee of £48.00. This fee covers the cost of everything. We will print, install and un-install the work our gallery space.
