Stills, Edinburgh's renowned centre for photography, is getting ready to open its doors to a new exhibition that promises to be a feast for the eyes. Called Stills Salon, this exhibition will feature the work of talented local and international photographers, as well as students, alumni, and staff of Stills School. Even volunteers have contributed to this exciting event.
With over 80 artists showcasing their work, there is something for everyone in this exhibition. From stunning analogue darkroom prints to cutting-edge digital creations, each piece has been carefully crafted and curated. Stills is proud to support a vibrant community of artists, students, and photographers, providing them with affordable resources to develop their skills and push the boundaries of their art.
What makes Stills Salon even more special is that some of the works on display were created by young people who have faced barriers in accessing the arts. Through free photography courses, these talented individuals were able to express themselves and contribute to this diverse and inspiring exhibition. It truly highlights the importance of affordable workshop spaces in nurturing an artistic community in Scotland.
Among the featured works, there is Victor Ivanenko's breathtaking photo of Alpine cows, Shawn Teague's captivating portrayal of Irish Travellers in 1984, and Paul Fuller's haunting "Spectre." Neil Harman, one of the contributing artists, shared his excitement about being able to showcase his work at Stills after attending a workshop there last year. Lance Rothstein's black and white photo of Old College at the University of Edinburgh is also a standout in the exhibition, capturing the beauty and history of the city.
For Lance, a lifelong photojournalist from Florida, Edinburgh has been a constant source of visual inspiration. He was thrilled to discover the Stills lab, where he could process his film and create the stunning image of Old College. This photograph, along with Yukin Zhang's "Overlook" from 2024, will be on display at Stills Salon from 25 October to 30 November of the same year.
Stills has been championing the power and importance of photography since its establishment in 1977. Its Technical Manager, Evan Thomas, expressed his pride in the centre's role in supporting photographers from all around the world. He also highlighted the opportunity that Stills Salon provides for its users to showcase their work in the gallery, giving them a chance to shine and share their vision with the world.
