“I made that conscious decision to force myself to shoot vertically,” Doyle says of the genesis of the now iconic images. “It was just to get myself out of the old habit. Also I think I was trying to stop a lot of the noise that you get in the standard classic street photography. I do remember at the time it was the opposite to painting. When you start to paint, you’re presented with a blank canvas. When you go out to the street you’re presented with a completely full canvas. It’s really about paring away. It’s about what’s not in the frame.” ED
Over the past five years, Eamonn Doyle rapidly emerged into the contemporary photographic world with his “Dublin trilogy” — extracts from which were self-published as three acclaimed books; i, ON and End. — and most recently with his new series, K, which he photographed in the west of Ireland and southern Spain. Made in Dublin, published by Thames & Hudson, brings together the Dublin trilogy plus new and unpublished photographs as one in an exhilarating, cinematic book featuring specially written text vignettes by prize-winning author Kevin Barry.
Designed by Niall Sweeney, Intro by the Sean o Hagan ( The Guardian) & Kevin Barry prize-winning author of two collections of short stories and two novels.
‘A singular new vision and an original contribution to the development of street photography’ Martin Parr
Roger Ballen is one of the most original image makers of the twenty-first century. Asylum of the Birds showcases his iconic photographs, which were all taken entirely within the confines of a house in a Johannesburg suburb, the location of which remains a tightly guarded secret. The inhabitants of the house, both people and animals, and most notably the ever-present birds, are the cast who perform within a sculptural and decorated theatrical interior that the author creates and orchestrates.
The resulting images are compelling and dynamic, existing somewhere between still life and portrait. They are richly layered with graffiti, drawings, animals, and found objects. In a world where photographers seek to avoid definition, Roger Ballen is a true original who not only defies genres, but has defined his own artistic space as well. 90 duotone illustrations
