John Brennan
John Brennan is Dublin-based photographer and painter. He came to photography through his painting practice, using photography initially as a creative stimulus, but gradually allowing photography to stand on its own. In 2014 he completed the Certificate in Photography & Digital Imaging in NCAD, Dublin.
In his photography practice, while frequently using digital photography, he has a particular affinity for 35mm black & white film images and the darkroom processes that go into producing finished work on print paper. Of particular and recurring interest is to explore spaces that are ‘quiet’. These are found in urban and rural streetscapes and landscapes. Attempting to capture a mood, or atmosphere, is an essential element for him in realising a good outcome from these expeditions.
