Exhibition

That Other Landscape

That Other Landscape is a collaboration between three of Scotlands most prolific landscape photographers.

Dylan Nardini, David Queenan and Grant Bulloch have all emerged into the photographic arts scene with their own unique style and interpretation of both the intimate and wider landscapes around them. Heavily influenced by their own individual localities, they have come together to create this exhibition which presents a unique perspective of both Scotland and further afield through the camera's lens.

Artists

David Queenan is a freelance graphic designer and landscape photographer based in central Scotland. He first developed a passion for photography whilst studying for his degree at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee. Over the years he has amassed a huge portfolio of work and a similar number of accolades, winning the Scottish Nature Photographer of the Year competition in 2015 and more recently the Wex Photographer of the Year competition, as well as being runner-up in the Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards and commended in the UK Landscape Photographer of the Year. This catalogue of success has made him one of the best and most respected landscape photographers in the country.

Grant Bulloch is an architect who has travelled extensively throughout Scotland. He completed the Munros over 20 years ago, a feat which exposed him to almost all of his country’s scenery and triggered a love of the Highland landscape and culture. Instead of bagging summits he now takes his camera. Grant has been commended in the UK Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition twice, was a finalist in the British Photography Awards in 2022 and 2023, and has been shortlisted in the Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition from 2017 to 2022.

Dylan Nardini - Art runs in Dylan's family. Both his father and sister are accomplished artists, but Dylan chose to pick up the camera instead of the brush. His love of the outdoors led him to become one of the most talented landscape photographers in the UK. He won the both Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition and the British Photography Awards Landscape Category in 2021. Other highlights include being commended in the UK Landscape Photographer of the Year and Outdoor Photographer of the Year Awards on more than one occasion. His work was also published by Kozu Books in their publication ‘Intimate Winter’. He is the organiser of the weekly “ShareMondays” twitter photo competition and publishes an annual book of the winning entries.
