The digital exhibition about Therapeutic Photography showcases the work of the first graduates in the field (PGcert in Therapeutic Photography by Dr. Neil Gibson, Robert Gordon University). The exhibition is held digitally in Akron Gallery and visitors are treated to a diverse range of photographs that explore various themes related to growth, self-improvement, self-exploration and well-being.

Photographs help individuals explore and express their emotions, thoughts and feelings. The students in the programme have been trained to use photography to promote self-reflection and personal growth.
The photographs in the exhibition are powerful and each tells a unique story. Some of them were abstract, with intricate patterns and shapes that conveyed complexity and depth. Others were more straightforward, depicting familiar objects and scenes in a new and unexpected light.
What makes the exhibition particularly special was how it brought together such a diverse group of individuals, each with a unique perspective on the world. Visitors can witness the transformative power of photography, as each image gives voice to the photographer's innermost thoughts and feelings.
The exhibition has a palpable sense of community and support, as visitors can engage with one another and share their own experiences. It is clear that the Therapeutic Photography programme has not only helped the students with self-exploration but also created a supportive and inclusive community.
Overall, the exhibition is a testament to the power of photography as a means of self-improvement, healing, growth and self-expression. The work of these talented students is a reminder of the important role that therapeutic photography can play in promoting mental health and well-being.
