Come by throughout the afternoon, spend some time with the work, and join us for the closing celebration in the evening with a DJ and drinks.
The Photographers
Alex Hutchinson
An Irish photographer based in London, Alex Hutchinson's personal work is drawn to the quieter details of everyday life, the fleeting moments, subtle gestures, and things that might otherwise go unnoticed.
His photographs search for what is beneath the obvious: a feeling, a memory, a story, or simply a different way of seeing. Rather than trying to give every image an answer, he leaves room for the viewer to find their own meaning.
For him, photography is about paying attention to the world long enough to discover it.
Declan Kelly
At the heart of Declan's practice is a commitment to queer visibility and representation. Through photography, Declan seeks to document people and communities. Declan's work, which sits between portraiture and fashion photography, also explores themes of masculinity. It touches on the importance of community in a digital age too, highlighting how working and being together changes one’s perceptions and identity.
Andrew Rankin
Andrew's photographic practice, spanning 15 years, includes fashion, landscape, portraiture and still-life. Whether in or out of the studio it always starts with an idea and aims to convey an experience. Andrew likes to stand back and take in the whole scene. Starting wide he watches what’s happening and how things are moving. Then he moves closer to explore.
Andrew often creates a soft, subtle light which complements his naturalistic and understated style. Having assisted for a decade the technical details are second nature; leaving him free to concentrate on the mood and atmosphere.
Niamh Dunne
Niamh Dunne is an emerging artist whose work explores identity, atmosphere and self-expression through a distinctive visual language. Having modelled for 10+ years, Niamh began her journey into the world of photography, shooting friends, mostly models and practicing on a film camera. Since then, she has focused primarily on photographing women in both studio and outdoor settings, taking an intuitive approach and using the environment to capture the mood and personal narrative of each image.
