Portrait Photography Prize ERIK MESSORI Italy- From Independent Under The Skin series KLPA2015 Entrant Occupation, nationalism and struggles with identity plague out world's history. In Ireland in particular, hundreds of years of British rule has produced generations of independent-minded Irish who have fought for their national identity. Their names names are related to infamous organisations, such as the IRA and other pro-independence organisations. Their tattoos tell the painstaking story of their lives, fallen friends, past actions. Their bodies bear indelible writings of an ideal and the human price paid to conquer it. Every drop of ink under their skin carries the memory of ancestors and comrades who died in this invisible war. This photographic account is an intimate view into their world, for the first time. www.klphotoawards.com #klphotoawards #klpathrowback #klpa #documentaryphotography #portrait #blackandwhitephotography
