Emily Macinnes (b. 1989) is a Scottish photojournalist and filmmaker. Currently based in Glasgow, she is a graduate of the Danish School of Media and Journalism.
In a time of rapid globalization, where cultures and races are meeting, mixing and morphing on a greater scale than ever before, Emily has focused her work around issues of migration and identity. She seeks to explore the individual and personal experiences that get lost in greater media narratives.
