David O'Flynn

David O'Flynn is a Dublin based photographer.

He is a relative latecomer to photography, initially the camera was a way of capturing family moments but gradually it developed into an ability to capture a wider and deeper range of images. A pivotal point for him was winning the 2005 RTE Winter Weather Competition because, for the first time, he realised that there may be a wider interest in his photography. Since 2005 he has had a number of solo exhibitions, undertaken commissions (both for display and for publication) and his second book is due to be published in September 2011.

Over time his style has evolved and he has refined the type of subject matter he addresses. He has always had a deep interest in history and his most recent work has involved addressing significant dates from history and their place in today's world. The composition of each photograph is very important to him and each collection captures the colour and a flavour of the gentle eccentricity that pervades every day life.

He shoots exclusively in digital and travels light when working, usually only taking a camera, a couple of lens and plenty of batteries and memory cards.
