“In the midst of Scotland’s punk explosion, a Glasgow maths teacher hung up his mortar board and picked up a camera. His name was Harry Papadopoulos and his photos would come to define and inform Scottish popular culture in the1980s”—The Herald

Harry Papadopoulos was a photographer with Sounds music weekly from 1979 to 1984. Thereafter he became editor for a number of Marvel Comics publications, including Care Bears, Flintstones and Star Trek. Following a brain aneurysm in 2002, Harry returned to Glasgow and as part of his long-term rehabilitation assisted with curating the exhibition of his photographs at Street Level Photoworks, which received critical acclaim from the UK press and public alike.
