Collection: Irish Photography Books — Photo Museum Ireland

Ireland has produced a remarkable body of contemporary photography - work made with a distinctive attention to landscape, community, identity and the textures of everyday life. This collection brings together books, catalogues and publications by Irish photographers stocked at Photo Museum Ireland, many of them available as signed or limited editions directly from Ireland's national photography centre.

Among the photographers represented here: Daragh Muldowney's Beacons documents three winters on the frozen surface of Lake Baikal in Siberia, where small pine trees planted along ice roads guide travellers across the oldest and largest freshwater lake on earth. Roseanne Lynch's GRAMMAR emerges from an 18-month residency at the Bauhaus Foundation Dessau, exploring the power of photography in shaping the visual history of modern architecture. Noel Bowler's Above the Fold takes us inside newspaper newsrooms across the world - a six-year project about the people and places that sustain a free press. Ishmael Claxton's The Lioness, The Potion, and The Wardrobe explores identity and creative expression through portraits made in the depths of the Covid lockdown, shot on film.

Also represented: Missy Brinkmeyer, Donovan Wylie, Trish Morrissey, Akihiko Okamura, Dorothy Cross, Bertrand Carrière, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, and many more.

Every purchase directly supports independent photographers through PMI's consignment programme. Signed and limited editions are available on many titles while stock lasts.

Photo Museum Ireland is Ireland's national centre for contemporary photography, based in Meeting House Square, Temple Bar, Dublin, supporting photographers and the photography community since 1978.
