Glasgow in Photographs

David Collie grew up in Glasgow and has always lived in the Greater Glasgow area, apart from three years living in Newcastle. He has always been interested in the city but developed a deeper fascination during Covid, photographing the iconic buildings and those less well known even to those who have lived in the city throughout their lives. He has also enjoyed searching out the wide range of public sculpture, and recording the often-ephemeral Street Art. For the last decade or so, he has undertaken freelance photography covering commercial, social and events. He was commissioned to make portraits of local people for an exhibition and for several years provided images for a Scottish magazine.

'The photographs show a fascinating mix of subjects, ranging from buildings that will be known to most, to others much less so. A good proportion of the photographs show night scenes, bringing an interesting dimension to their subjects; and both the exteriors and interiors of buildings are depicted. Amongst other subjects are statues and public art, murals and graffiti. This is a great book for anyone looking for some Glasgow inspiration!'
