Capturing the Essence of Glasgow: A Documentary Photography Zine
In the realm of documentary photography, the power of print is undeniable. The tangible nature of a printed zine brings a unique sense of reality to the images it holds, making the stories they tell even more compelling. One such example is the Sick Love Zine Glasgow Edition, a captivating collection of images that encapsulates the spirit of Glasgow through the lens of documentary photography.
The Sick Love Zine Glasgow Edition is the brainchild of multidisciplinary artist Trackie Mcleod, who tackles lad culture and art-world pretentiousness through nostalgia and good crack. Merging his own experiences with iconic British pop-culture references, Trackie’s work speaks to the generation of Kim and Aggie, Mr.Blobby and TV dinners.
The zine features photography by @izzylleach and is designed by @arrwsmth. It’s a perfect example of how Ex Why Zed’s photobook printing services can bring a project to life. The zine was printed as an A5 booklet, with a 4pp cover onto 200gsm Silk, matt lamination to the outer, and 36pp text onto 130gsm Silk. The four-colour print throughout was trimmed, collated, and wire stitched, resulting in a high-quality product that does justice to the stunning photography it contains.
Ex Why Zed has a rich history of bringing such projects to life. For instance, the Plant Portraits by Jerome Toole, Wolf Alice Tour Zines, and Rob Pinney Jungle are just a few examples of the diverse range of photobooks and zines that Ex Why Zed has helped to create. Each project is unique, yet they all share a common thread: the power of print to tell a story.
The Sick Love Zine Glasgow Edition is more than just a collection of images; it’s a testament to the power of documentary photography and the impact of print. It’s a limited edition book, making it a collectable item for photography enthusiasts and lovers of Glasgow alike. And with Ex Why Zed’s zine printing services, you too can create your own unique, high-quality photobook or zine.
