Gingers is the first book from non-fiction photographer Kieran Dodds. The sold-out hardback, first edition was released in November 2020 closely followed by a softcover second edition. The book was one of Smithsonian Magazine’s Photography books of 2020 and also one of Waterstone’s favourite Scottish books of the year.

They occupy different political regions.
