A new photography exhibition dedicated to mental health has opened in Glasgow.

The exhibition, called 'Mind the Gap', is being displayed at Skypark and aims to encourage anyone struggling with their own mental health to ask for help.

It is a collective body of work by Ross Samson and Anastazia Hart, and each participant has drawn on their personal experiences.

The exhibition is part of The Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival (SMHAF) that returns from October 10 to 27.

Now in its 18th year, the annual festival is led by the Mental Health Foundation.

It takes place across Scotland and covers all art forms.

SMHAF aims to 'provide a platform for everyone to create and share art inspired by mental health and explore how the arts and creativity can support people to live mentally healthier lives'.

He said: "There has been much about the positive role that photography can play in mindfulness and improving mental health.

"I should know, having returned to photography a decade ago to try to reduce work-related stress.

"We are seeking to make the invisible visible and that includes holding therapeutic workshops for anyone that is living with mental health issues.

"It is no easy task for photographers to photograph the invisible.

"We do hope that you find something in it that touches you."

'Mind the Gap' will hold public workshops on Mondays at Skypark at 11am from September 23 and throughout October.
