Gavin Smart
Advertising for the Arts
Gavin originally trained as a musician at London’s Guildhall School of Music, before moving to Paris as an artisan baker. His photography is as diverse as his background, bringing together many creative elements. Gavin’s work has been widely exhibited, in the Royal Scottish Academy of Art, the Royal Ulster Academy of Art, the Royal West Academy of Art and the 5&33 Gallery in Amsterdam. He was awarded runner-up in European Professional Photographer of the Year 2019, MPA Student Photographer of the Year 2018, BIPP Student Photographer of the Year 2017, and finalist in the 2018 AOP Awards. His portfolio, Advertising for the Arts, is a series of promotional posters and character portraits taken in support of Edinburgh’s vibrant theatre scene.
