Full Description
Finding himself faced with a feeling of disconnect from his city of birth, Stephen Millar sets out on a mission to capture the heart and essence of Glasgow, engaging with the patchwork of 'tribes' which make up the fabric of the city. Meeting with members of a remarkable variety of clubs and sub-cultures - from pagans, to cosplayers, to traditional musicians - this collection moves beyond stereotypes and delves deeper into the origins of these tribes. Scottish photographer Alan McCredie brings their stories to life through a blend of portraits and candid snaps.
