Scottish photographer Rachel Lamb’s first book aims to rediscover Glasgow through the people living there

is something of a homecoming for her. Having spent a decade away, living between London and Paris, the Scottish photographer returned to her hometown to work on the project, which captures 21 Glaswegian creatives inside their own homes. The book’s premise, much like Lamb’s style, is simple yet intimate – offering a look inside Glasgow’s vibrant creative community and, in the process, celebrating the spirit of the city.

To create this authenticity in her practice, it’s important to Lamb that there is a feeling of trust with whoever she shoots. “If I feel like I connect to someone and I have an interest in them, then that’s how the photography develops,” she says. “I spend a day with someone and build a rapport. And so for me, I suppose even if it’s fashion, my style is still quite documentary.

As Lamb still lives in London, her book reveals that home isn’t necessarily a physical anchoring to a certain place, but that it can be a feeling too – of personal identity, memory, or belonging. This idea is best captured in the book’s introduction, written by Julia Gilmour, which reads: “Moving from place to place allows for unwanted feelings of weightlessness or impermanence.
