The Modern Bill Doyle

If you are not familiar with the work of Irish photographer Bill Doyle then get thee to googling stat for a taster of his tremendous body of work. Some of Dolye's work was recently on display at IMMA as part of 'The Moderns' exhibition and he has also been the subject of a retrospective at the Irish Gallery of Photography. A guide to the recent IMMA exhibition is currently available on the IMMA website.

Doyle, a former postman, became a fully-fledged photographer after winning a competition in 1967. His images quickly rose to iconic status, earning him the illustrious reputation as the “Irish Cartier-Bresson”. Doyle sadly died last year, aged 85. Here are some of his photograph's that will live on:
