PhotoIreland is excited to announce the 5 artists selected to join the FUTURES Photography Platform in 2026, co-funded by the European Union. The five artists were selected from a high number of submissions, which underlines artists’ appreciation of FUTURES as a substantial career development opportunity.
In joining the platform, now in its 9th year, the artists not only enter a growing list of talent from across Europe, but also benefit from a growing range of opportunities supported by Creative Europe and the 23 platform members planned throughout the present year, culminating in an annual networking event, hosted this year by FOTODOK in Utrecht.
Follow the link to discover the 5 selected artists and find out more about the 35 artists from previous years, as well as the full list of member organisations in the FUTURES platform.

Still Looking presents new works by Ciara Richardson, Conn McCarrick, Evanna Devine, Finbar Flanagan, and Jake Hughes to mark the conclusion of their cycle of participation in PhotoIreland’s annual RADAR programme.
RADAR is a year-long residency programme for recent graduates of any Photography and Visual Arts degree on the island of Ireland, from Diploma to Master’s. The programme is an ambitious evolution of the Inspirational Arts Photography Award, first established in 2009, now expanding its remit to provide critical opportunities with the support of PhotoIreland.
Still Looking is testament to the artists’ devotion to their practice, and the new works presented signal a deepening in their critical enquiry. It is with delight that PhotoIreland presents them at the International centre for the Image in the context of the Five Arts Lamps Festival.

PhotoIreland presents Reverie Park at The Library Project, a new body of work by Brazilian fine art photographer Diego Fabro, accompanying the release of his first photobook.
Reverie Park is a poetic meditation on grief, memory, and the experience of living between places. Created over three years between Brazil and Ireland, the book brings together 51 colour photographs made using both digital and analogue photography.
Reverie Park emerged following the death of Fabro’s father and began with a return to the family farm in rural Brazil. Attuned to the slow rhythms of nature, growth, decay, and quiet transformation, the work gradually expanded to include staged scenes, human figures, and suburban nocturnes photographed in Dublin. The result is a body of work that moves fluidly between documentary and fiction, intimacy and theatricality.
Beautifully printed in Italy and published by TG Publishing in an edition of 600, this is a rich 96 page hardcover volume, with writing from Robin Titchener—a long established British photobook collector and writer.
