Inhaltsangabe

As Others See Us is based on a photographic exhibition from Tricia Malley and Ross Gillespie, who together form the renowned partnership broad daylight. Created as part of Homecoming 2009 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns' birth, the exhibition has returned with additional subjects for Homecoming 2014, kicking off with a major exhibition in New York at the POP International Gallery, Manhattan, during Scotland Week 2014. The exhibition consists of more than 20 portraits of prominent and influential Scots, including Eddi Reader, Edwin Morgan, Peter Howson and Janice Galloway. New portraits include Brian Cox, Alan Cumming, Ian Rankin, Ashley Jensen, Tom Kitchin, The Proclaimers and Jackie Kay. The portraits capture a unique insight into the sitter, enhanced by the accompanying text, as each was asked to contribute their favourite poem from Robert Burns, and to explain why it is special to them and what they think it means to Scots today.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Award winning photographers Ross Gillespie and Tricia Malley are among Scotland's most experienced and insightful photographers. They have worked together for almost 20 yeas under the name of broad daylight and have an instinctive eye for capturing the character and personality behind their subject. Their work will be known to many through the front covers of Ian Rankin's famous Rebus novels (as well as the stunning photographs throughout 'Rebus's Scotland A Personal Journey'). Tricia's background as a documentary photographer combined with Ross's background as an illustrator has created an almost unique collaboration which allows art to frequently and successfully mimic life in a seriously powerful fashion. They have an enormous capacity for empathy with their subjects and as a result get well below the superficial.Award winning photographers Ross Gillespie and Tricia Malley are among Scotland's most experienced and insightful photographers.
