Field Notes

Documentary Photography from Northern Ireland

Field Notes is an ongoing collection of documentary photography, essays and observations from across Northern Ireland. Made away from commercial briefs and deadlines, these stories are given the time to unfold naturally, following people, places and traditions worth documenting. Each one is an opportunity to look more carefully, understand more deeply and tell stories that might otherwise go unnoticed.
