Local Student Nominated for Photography Award

Congratulations to local student Alex Finnigan who was recently nominated by the Irish Professional Photography Association for the I.A.D.T. Student Award 2010 for his Mural Landscapes series.

The project was shot in the heart of Belfast and the town of Maze, areas which are well known for their murals and cultural materials left as consequences of conflict. It reflects on the troubles by making visible the thoughts of ordinary people. Writings from local people were traced from the Peace Wall and projected onto the landscape, embedding their thoughts and words on the surface, creating murals on the land.

If you require any further information in relation to Alex's work, please send an email to finniganalex@yahoo.ie
