Photo of the Month: October
“I liked the woman’s matching coat and hair, it seemed like an obvious picture to take.”

I took this photo while out in town one morning. The weather wasn’t great and it was pretty dark out so I walked through George’s Arcade to steal the light. I liked the woman’s matching coat and hair, it seemed like an obvious picture to take. I enjoy the “liminal space” feel of George’s Arcade and try to walk through it to capture vibrant people like her whenever I’m out in town.
I’ve been taking photos for a while now but only recently started bringing a camera out with me in Dublin. I’ve been posting my progress and photos I’ve taken on my Instagram account @stephen.cullinan and on TikTok @stephencullinan.
