A chat with Angel L.Gonzalez and Moritz Neumüller

Moritz: You told me that these last two years have been the hardest of your life... what’s so complicated about organising an event like PhotoIreland?

Angel: Yeah, thanks for bringing that up. You know, I am used to working on my own, being self employed for over a decade, but the challenge has been to cope with an extra humongous workload while trying to maintain some sort of personal life. It’s Pretty hard. I missed many parties, birthdays, and trips. However, what I’ve learnt in the last 4 years, the people I’ve met, the places I’ve been to... makes it all worthwhile. Right now, I feel much more calm than in previous years, incredibly happy of what we have achieved, and quite lucky to have met you.

prism #06: Happy B-Day to prism!

We are honoured to introduce you to our anniversary issue of prism magazine.

Twelve months ago  prism was no more than a beam of invisible light, waiting to be refracted and amuse all spectators with a palette of sensational colours. A year ago we whispered ‘let the light in’ and prism was brought to existence.

Over the past year our team of talented photography enthusiasts has provided the audience with seven amazing issues, each topped with the creme de la creme of contemporary photography. It was a challenging yet very rewarding year.

We celebrated established names and promoted emerging artists, we partnered with two big photographic feasts in Dublin and Belfast, organised a very successful international instant photography show and supported every show and every other photographic initiative we could. On top of that we have made some great friends and received a lot of positive feedback. We couldn’t have expected more!

This time we are introducing our audience to the work of: Jan Brykczynski from Sputnik Collective, John Cyr, Paula Muhr, Thomas Devaux, Sasha Rudensky and Thomas Jackson, Jasmina Jasinska, Patricia Klich, Amy Hanrahan, georgia Krawiec, Darek Fortas and Karol Liver.

You can read the magazine for free here.
