People of Glasnevin exhibition

 This project is a social documentary on a part of Dublin which is known more for having the cemetery and botanical gardens but we decided to get to know the people behind the doors..the people who call this home. Along with those living here..it was fitting to add the people who make up part of the community working in the area. 

 Over a 6 month time frame we were contacted by people to get involved..allowing us into their homes and jobs to have a cup of coffee and capture a moment in the time line of this area. From living rooms to kitchens, front doors, barbers, shops, craft shops and prisons.

 This was something to print and put on a wall for the audience to interact with it directly rather than on a screen but in a frame. 

 We can live in a community and not even know who lives at the end of our street and that's what this piece was about..to give an insight into those people..everyone involved will have not only the connection of living in this area but being involved in this exhibition which will last forever. 

 To be able to photograph my parents at their door was a special addition especially loosing my father recently. I'd like to dedicate this to my dad and to the late great Gary Shanley. 

I'm delighted to be able to join a walking tour of the cemetery to give some tips and ideas on how to capture this stunning area while the exhibition was showing during September.

Thank you so so much to all who made an effort to come to the show!
