Edinburgh People

In the exhibition Edinburgh People, blind photographer Rosita McKenzie presents images as diverse as a young couple with their first, newly born son; Edinburgh's Poet Laureate; the softer face of a local politician; and the back view of a 'very private' visual artist.

'By its very nature, my art work challenges traditional perceptions of photographic practice and portraiture in that subjects are not expected to gaze into the camera lens. This is because I wanted to capture the natural and 'pure' essence of each subject, not an artificial image, created by a contrived pose or special lighting.
