Working across areas of experimental photo-arts, coastal ecology and medicinal health, The Photo Clinic is an exploratory based community project working with a number of participants from Access to Industry.
Led by photographer Zoe Hamill, working in collaboration with herbalists from Herbal Scotland, a series of eight workshops are currently being held in Portobello.
The workshops involve learning about analogue as well as camera-less photography, along with expert knowledge of medicinal plan ecology and remedy-making, to include photo-walks, plant-based film processing, plant identification and seed collection.
The project will culminate in public outcomes during March 2026.
Zoe is a photographer from Co. Antrim, now living in Edinburgh. She is interested in the relationship between humans and the environment, as well as the systems of classification that we use to make sense of the world around us. She was recently a commissioned artist for Connecting Threads Watery Commons programme, and is currently carrying out a Darkroom Garden residency at CraigmillarNow.
