Wonderful to bump into the great French photographer Raymond Depardon at his exhibition here at Visa pour l’image in Perpignan. Amazing work over the decades and having collected his books for years, to now meet him and see his prints first hand is a privilege… @Visapourlimage #documentary #photography #visapourlimage

Wonderful exhibition of portraits by the great photographer Jane Bown who worked for The Observer newspaper from 1949 and currently on view at the EU buildings in Dublin…

This is Jim Morrison’s grave in Père-Lachaise Cemetery Paris in 1983. I believe the wonderful stone bust of the lead singer with The Doors has disappeared. Glad to have photographed it 40 years ago before it vanished…from my old negatives #35mmfilm @johncreedon #photograghy #Documentary #kodak #rockmusic #leica #Paris

A portrait of mine for The Irish Times. I’d photographed Sinead O’Connor many times but this was the last…

As a full time photographer for over 50 years I’m very interested in the proliferation of AI images and the future of digital photography. I shot on film for 20 years, moved to digital for 20 years and went back to film the last 10 years. People show me images on their phone which look great, but I don’t know if they’re real. At least I have my negatives… #35mm #documentary #photography #Ireland
