Three Cities “Don’t get me wrong, towards the end you’re like ‘oh fucking hell, I don’t know if I can do this again. But then you’re walking for like two hours and then you take one photo which you know works and without sounding cheesy, it’s worth it.” - Niall O’Brien, Photographer & Director. The resulting ‘Three Cities’ is a welcome proposal for working slowly. For allowing each photograph to prove its worth. It is this way of thinking that has led him away from many of his contemporaries, who are increasingly pressed to prove their worth in the number of followers they have on Instagram. Not that he doesn’t use it (O’Brien has a healthy following of over 7,000, and he has recently discovered the joys of ‘Stories’) but you won’t find him documenting his life on there. Dublin-born, London-based photographer O’Brien has an eye for capturing the now and seizing raw emotion. A self-described “unaware” photographer, he makes sure to keep boundaries in place when documenting his subjects. You can catch O’Brien’s series ‘Three Cities’ on display at London’s ‘Sid Motion Gallery’ until May 26, 2018. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #niallobrien #photographer #threecities #sidmotiongallery #london #california #siliconvally #bascomavenue #blake #exhibition (at Sid Motion Gallery)
