Monochrome 2026 marks a bold new chapter for the Glasgow Gallery of Photography—transforming a celebrated annual exhibition into a beautifully crafted hardback art book for the very first time.
This special edition brings together over 100 striking images from photographers around the world, each exploring the power, nuance, and timeless elegance of black-and-white photography. Stripped of colour, these works reveal deeper layers of emotion, contrast, texture, and form—inviting viewers to see the world with renewed clarity and sensitivity.
From intimate portraits to expansive landscapes, abstract compositions to documentary moments, Monochrome 2026 captures the diversity and creativity of contemporary photography while honouring one of the medium’s most enduring traditions. Each page has been thoughtfully curated to mirror the experience of the gallery itself, allowing readers to move through the exhibition at their own pace and return to it again and again.
This inaugural hardback edition is more than a catalogue—it is a lasting artefact. Designed for collectors, photography enthusiasts, and lovers of visual art alike, it preserves the spirit of the exhibition in a tactile, immersive form.
Monochrome 2026 invites you to pause, to look closer, and to discover the extraordinary within the simplicity of black and white.
