Ciara Menzies is a photographer and visual artist based in Glasgow.

Her documentary practice illuminates social justice and health narratives, revealing unseen perspectives that challenge conventional understanding while merging aesthetic vision with meaningful advocacy. Her approach balances artistic integrity with ethical storytelling practices.

Working across analog and digital processes, her interdisciplinary approach encompasses portraiture, documentary and commercial photography, with a special interest in print and bookmaking as narrative vehicles.
