Life at 1/125th

Photography I make from scenes I see. Most of this personal work consists of scenes of the human condition / Street Photography from Dublin and around Ireland and the rest of the world.

Pre social distancing, London underground 2011, it's so strange to look back on scenes like this today on what was once normal and part of everyday life is now taboo.

It's great to see an image you took appear in print, especially on a hardback book cover. The aesthetics of global protest published by Amsterdam university press.

This book featuring 12 photos from me and many other photographers better than myself, is still available on Amazon if you want some inspiration for the New Year. Really pleased how it turned out. #50mm #photography #photobookjousting #photobook #publishing #education #inspiration #streetphotography #50mmlens #books https://www.instagram.com/p/B6VjylDHf_F/?igshid=cu5xyjtlrfx3

Every image I've ever shot from 2006 to present. Don't know how many images, considering every sheet is one mm thick and contains 36 images. About 10% is medium format. All the scans I've done fit into the harddrive ontop. #believeinfilm #filmsnotdead #film #35mm #kodak #kodakfilm #leica #analog https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs3xVYFnUOE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sj0w8kas4aib

Russar 20mm + Lens from Lomography

Recently I was given the privilege of testing the 20mm Russar Lens from lomography. For such a wide angle lens it takes a lot of discipline for street photography, but it's been great fun to use. At first I was nervous using so wide an angle lens to get close to people, my usual go to lens 9

My first attempt at a new departure, animated street photography.  I don’t know what to call this new style, perhaps StreetGif.  Taken in Chisinau Moldova.
