about us

Solas is the Irish word for light.

We aim to make Solas a source of light and lightness.

We believe the difference between real photographs that came out of photographic processes and fabricated photorealistic images is important.

We believe in seeing photographs in person, in valuing the craft of making a photographic object and the power of seeing something beautiful or challenging face to face.

We believe a gallery specializing in photography is critical to a healthy photographic community. Our goal is to contribute to the development of photography and the photographic community in the Seattle area.
