For more than six decades it was an intimate celebrity hotspot — a small walk-up shop on London’s Oxford Street that offered no luxury goods, only a set of matchbook-sized portraits printed in ten minutes or less.

“Immigrants could be found in every corner of the Irish Free State at that time. It bucks the image we have of this dour, conservative society. It had conservative elements, but the 1920s were quite a globalised world.

I wanted to create imagery that moved away from the negative depictions of migration stories, without dismissing those realities, but instead to give another perspective through my grandfather’s story.

The female photographers of the Bauhaus probed the boundaries of a new medium. They observed the world around them through the lens of a camera and often captured subjects from unconventional perspectives.

Delighted to be mentoring/supervising Dr Holly O’Farrell during her 2 year Post-Doctoral Fellowship; ‘Captured Histories: Women, Photography, and the Material Practices of Collecting in British Mandate Palestine and Transjordan (1917–1948)’ supported by @researchireland.ie

The photographers approach Ireland through long-form projects that consider themes such as environmental change, the relationship between people and place, and the cultural narratives embedded in the land.

Visiting a battlefield, whether in person or only through photographs, we are surely mistaken in thinking that old trees are wise, projecting onto them the qualities we might wish to find in our own aged selves, but at least trees have the virtue of not talking.

“My work is often described in terms of migration and borders which, I believe, miss what is truly at stake,” she says. “Beyond these categories, what interests me most is rethinking these paradigms in order to propose another one: that of a radical citizenship.”

Bondar says his archive acts as a counterpoint to the “comfortable” narrative of the second world war – celebrating it as a triumph rather than a tragedy – that Moscow uses to justify its invasion of Ukraine, embodied in its propaganda slogan “we can do it again”

[SEM] 18.03.26/ 16h30-18H / B0.553 Le professeur invité @justinmcarville.bsky.social (IADT Dublin) présentera "Governing and Ungoverning Photography: Histories and Photographies in the Racialization of Ireland" Dans le cadre du Séminaire Aire Irlande du Cecille et Programme bilatéral PHC Ulysses.

The nineteenth-century Italian aristocrat Virginia Oldoini, Countess de Castiglione, has been cast in many lights: narcissist, courtesan, spy, exhibitionist. In the photo studio of Mayer & Pierson, she played all these parts and one more—the role of self-portraitist.

The 2026 exhibition features Jane Evelyn Atwood, Weronika Gęsicka, Amak Mahmoodian and Rene Matić – four artists whose practices span continents and generations, yet converge around urgent social and cultural questions.

Tributes have been paid to the war photographer Paul Conroy who has died at the age of 61. He covered conflicts around the world and was wounded in the Syrian army's bombardment of Homs, which killed his Sunday Times colleague Marie Colvin in 2012.

If anyone is in Dublin on Tuesday March 3rd IADT are hosting a talk by Gail Day and Steve Edwards on their recently published book Amphibious Realities - details below 👇

Photographer Samuel Laurence Cunnane travels around the world by van, capturing fleeting scenes that result in luminous images, revealing remarkable beauty hidden in plain sight. The Irish artist makes his London debut at Southbank Centre’s Hayward Gallery with Blue Road, …

“These images will open up the space for much-needed debate around the politics of memory in contemporary Greece which for so long have been overshadowed by the divisions of the civil war.”

View from Rock of Dunamase, Co Laois

“Some of these works will appear alongside painting, sculpture and historical objects. Photography can be a lens on the world, showing us social, political and economic circumstances in ways that painting or sculpture alone cannot.”

The images in Lonely Are All the Bridges were made in Ukraine by Robin Hinsch over more than a decade. The photographer first visited Ukraine in 2010. His sustained interest in this complex country compelled him to return many times to photograph the landscape and the people he encountered.

Family photos, town reports, forgotten newspapers — fragments of lives slipping out of memory. A new book collects this material, alongside photos taken by Pia and Jesse while scavenging for material and images from Pia’s own family archive.

His moribund visions turn open spaces into oppressive, brooding environments stalked by ghosts. If there’s beauty in this darkness, McCullin makes it hard to see.

“In my neighbourhood, there were Black photojournalists and my mom had a beauty shop so I grew up looking at Ebony, Jet, and Life magazine. I was curious why they were all missing from the history books, and I felt it was important these names needed to be known.”

Mullaghmeen Forest, Co Westmeath

A demonstration that the contemporary celebrity Irish-Diaspora in UK are not immune to the echos of Victorian anti-Irish prejudice

…, yet the deeply personal nature of her experiments in the darkroom, not least in devising ingenious ways of printing her photographs by hand and of producing images as photograms without recourse to a camera, evokes the intimacy and idiosyncrasy of craftsmanship.

As speaker and “securer,” Van Der Zee and his images attend to the belief that death is not an end, nor a terminal point, but rather a threshold, a passageway interminably open on both ends.

And in that shift, the exhibition speaks not only to MENA communities but to many others whose histories in the city have been under-recognised. These are stories of contribution, erasure, cultural work carried out quietly, brilliance that has gone uncredited.
