It offers a captivating and intimate look at the city, exploring its vibrant and diverse character.
Shining a light on Glasgow during the capital's busiest time was a conscious decision by the artist, with the two cities' friendly rivalry well known.
Iain said: "My intimate affection for Glasgow is demonstrated by unveiling a deep sense of community amongst its vivid characters – my tribute to a city that embraces and inspires all who are fortunate enough to call it home.
"Street photography is the lifeblood of the exhibition and it illuminates the ordinary and the extraordinary alike.
"The anonymous faces of passers-by intertwine with the familiar visages of local legends, each expressing the collective spirit that reverberates within the city."
