Eamonn Doyle
Eamonn Doyle (born 1969) is an Irish photographer, electronic music producer, DJ, and owner/manager of a record label whose debut photobook i - inspired by Samuel Beckett - was published in March 2014 and according to Martin Parr was "the best street photobook in a decade”. He followed it with ON & K to create a trilogy of self-published photo-books.
His street photographs is produced in and around the Dublin city centre where he has lived for the past 20 years and is reminiscent of some of the greats, such as Walker Evans' Subway Portrait from the late 1930s, Harry Callahan's Chicago series of the 1950s, and Philip-Lorca diCorcia's Streetwork of the 1990s. The pictures possess all the mystery, candour and what Walker Evans described as "naked repose" of timeless street photography.
Doyle’s most recent bodies of work have taken him to the wild Atlantic coast of Ireland and to the volcanic landscapes of Extremadura in Spain [K, 2018], and back to his surburban home in south Dublin [O, 2020] . Eamonn still lives and works where it all began, just off Parnell Street in Dublin, with the D1 Recordings studio still operating from the basement.
