Tony O’Shea - Photographs.

Born in 1947, Tony O’Shea was born in County Kerry. He studied English and Philosophy at University College Dublin and, towards the end of the 1970s, became increasingly interested in photography. By 1981 he had begun working full-time as a photographer with In Dublin magazine and later for the Sunday Business Post. His first book, Dubliners, including a text by Colm Tóibín, was published by Macdonald Illustrated in 1996. Tony has worked as an independent photographer for more than 40 years and has documented many key events in Ireland’s social and political history. Beginning in 2017, Photo Museum Ireland undertook the work of digitising O’Shea’s extensive archive. As a result of this, a major retrospective titled The Light of Day was co-published by RRB Books and Photo Museum Ireland in 2020.
