Synopsis

As OTHERS SEE US is a unique, innovative photographic project produced by award winning photographers Tricia Malley and Ross Gillespie.

This project has been both a challenge and an inspiration. Our style of portraiture is to have no fixed style but rather to adapt our approach to reflect the personality of the sitter. The challenge here was to capture not only each individual sitter’s character but also try to convey something of the essence of his or her favourite Burns poem in a single portrait. The work of Robert Burns can be quite abstract or highly visual… sometimes both. Inspiration came from being reminded of the works of Burns, being introduced to new pieces and seeing them through the eyes of the sitters. In addition, it was inspiring to work with such a diverse, creative and intellectual group of people, each one of whom it was a pleasure to meet and whose cooperation with the way we work contributed greatly to the end result.

As we discovered during the time spent on this project, Robert Burns is just as relevant, entertaining and inspiring today as he was 250 years ago.’

Tricia Malley, Ross Gillespie.

À propos de l?auteur

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.
