Island Photographers is an artist-led group raising awareness, understanding and engagement with contemporary photography within Ireland. Through workshops, talks, education, exhibitions and the sale of works, Island Photographers’ mission is to further develop photography’s pivotal role within Irish visual culture.

Since January 2023, Island Photographers has been organising talks on contemporary photography in Ireland. These events allow photographic artists to share their work and receive critical feedback from their peers. The talks facilitate art professionals, with an interest in photographic practice, to talk about their work and contribute to a broader discussion about photography.

2024 will see Island photographers present a new series of talks approximately every six weeks. We will build on these events and look forward to expanding the group’s activities.

Island Photographers is run by Conor Horgan, Shane Lynam, Fionn McCann, Malcolm McGettigan, Yvette Monahan, Kate Nolan, Brían Sparks and Agata Stoinska.

Past contributors include Greg Marsden, Aisling McCoy
