# Forbes Gallery & Gifts
Forbes Gallery & Gifts is an Aberdeen-based creative enterprise rooted in fine art photography and curated gift selection. The business operates as a nexus for photography enthusiasts, art collectors, and gift buyers seeking distinctive, locally-sourced items with artistic merit.
The gallery showcases the work of photographer Johnny Forbes, whose portfolio spans contemporary photography projects and commercial assignments. Their offerings extend beyond traditional gallery fare to include AFC-themed gifts and merchandise, positioning them as a specialist retailer for Aberdeen Football Club supporters seeking authentic, quality memorabilia. This dual focus—fine art photography combined with themed gift retail—creates a unique retail experience unavailable from generic gift shops.
What distinguishes Forbes Gallery & Gifts is the integration of a working photographer's studio with retail operations. Rather than displaying mass-produced inventory, the gallery functions as a legitimate creative workspace where original work is produced, curated, and sold directly to customers. This direct artist-to-buyer model ensures authenticity and allows collectors to purchase pieces with full provenance and artist context.
The Aberdeen location (AB25 1HZ) serves the local creative community and regional art enthusiasts, whilst their online presence extends reach to photography collectors and AFC supporters across the UK. The business demonstrates genuine entrepreneurial diversity—balancing artistic integrity with commercial viability through complementary product lines that appeal to overlapping but distinct customer bases.
