Featured Dublin Photographer
Patrick Donald
Patrick Donald has been image making for over fifteen years. Since the outset of this career in photography he has been making pictures in a documentary style using prodominantly black and white film.
He is dedicated to the Art of expressing his work using traditional methods of the wet dark room. But he feels that one of the most important aspects of his work is what is known as straight photography approach. In other words nothing fundamental is changed in the post production of the chosen images.
“Through my photographs my intention is to make each individual images stand up on there own, and to say some thing on a deeper level than the physical elements of the picture. Its really about questions rather than answers so far, but I am keeping an open mind. Photography to me is the strongest medium there is available to make discoveries in this context, along with the social implications and questions it can raise”
Donald's work has not been extensively published as yet, and in the few situations he has publicly shown, his work has been very successful. Picking up the Royal Bank of Scotland (Ireland) in association with the Irish Arts Review Portrait Award at the RHA in 2008.
