Open To The Public: Photography Exhibition

Kyle — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 08:30:01 +0000

‘Open to the public‘ promises to be a fantastic photography exhibition. It is a group exhibition run by year two photography students from IADT, there is a huge variety of photographers, so expect to be blown away!

Opening May 5th 6-9pm

Runs daily 12-6pm

05th May – 12th May

The Joinery
6 Rosemount Terrace, Arbour Hill, Dublin 7.

“At a time when public and private places coalesce and where private life is blurred by access to the virtual, photography is both reassessing its role and confirming its heritage. Open to the Public, an exhibition of photographs by year two photography students from IADT-Dun Laoghaire explores these notions through a diverse collection of images. From street photographs to conntemporary interiors the work tries to assess what is public and what is private.“

This opening is part of First Thursdays Dublin.

Last week I was lucky enough to have been included in the final 5 for ‘Photographer of the year‘ at the Irish student media awards. It was a super night and absolutely amazing to win. I wanted to say a quick thanks to Oxygen & all the sponsors, IADT and a big shout out to anybody who has shot with me, gone on a photowalk, in essence all the photographers I’ve met over the past few years. In my opinion it is meeting and networking with other photographers that makes us push ourselves to be better photographers!!

Earthy Creatures: Competition takes to the streets of Dublin

Kyle — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 09:30:31 +0000

This was a quick walk around Grafton Street in Dublin to promote my first solo photography exhibition (MARCH 1st-6th).

The idea behind the day was to get people aware of the exhibition, what it was all about and the theme ‘Earthy Creatures’. We had created a box especially for the day where people would put a hand inside and tell us what Earthy object was inside. I wanted people to interact with the idea behind Earthy Creatures. Everything was related to the exhibition, so we had sand, earth, water, leaves etc within the box.

Everybody had a great laugh and one lucky winner shall be picked to win a free photoshoot in March.

You can see a few shots of the behind the scenes making of the box over. Tough work this box making

New Photography Website – New Portfolio

Kyle — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 05:08:40 +0000

Hello Hello,
The new website is up and running and perfectly in time for my photography exhibition next month! I’ve a whole new portfolio, linked in my Facebook page & twitter while not going overboard.

A blast from the past

The following are the different versions of my photography website. I’ve coded all of these from hand, which takes it’s time but I think it’s worth it!!

I’d love to hear what you think of the new design!

Student Registration Fees March Dublin

Kyle — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 21:28:09 +0000

Today I went along to the HUGE student march in Dublin’s city centre. The march started at 1pm on Parnell Square, just off O’connell street. There was a great atmostphere, everyone was calm, peaceful collected and there with purpose. They where there with one reason and one reason only!

STOP STUDENT REGISTRATION FEE’S INCREASING

Please help circulate these images & get the word out. Show people what the march was REALLY LIKE. A few minutes of fighting (from thugs) at the end gets all the headlines, show people the spirit of the day!!! Enough talk, I’ll let the pictures do the work!

Like my work? Pop over to facebook

If you like my work I’d love to see and talk to you on facebook.com/KyleTunneyPhotography.

A great video put together extremely quickly:
