Gillian Robertson
Bio
Scottish born Gillian Robertson was drawn to photography and studied for a Higher Diploma in Photography at Napier University, Edinburgh, in the 1980s, where she focused on studio work - still life and portraiture. After graduating, she worked within the advertising and design industry as a stylist, creative producer and photographer for many years.
Gillian uprooted in 2015 to live in Ras Al Khaimah. Feeling inspired by new and exciting travel opportunities, she immersed herself in photography once again and established for the local community a beginners’ digital photography course. Gillian’s photograph ‘Hope’ was awarded the 1st Prize at Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival 2019. Her project for The Place I Call Home explores interculturalism and relationships formed between British, Emirati and other nationals within the locality she has made her home.
