Gabriel J O’Shaughnessy MFIAP, FIPF, FRPS, EFIAP/b

I’ve been taking photo’s for over twenty years.  In that time I have made many friends both at home and abroad.  I enjoy all aspects of photography.  In each photograph the challenge is the same – I strive to portray a mood or feeling that goes beyond the image itself and connects with the viewer.
 
I was a member of Dundalk Photographic Society for 21 years, one of Irelands premier clubs.  In 2010 we rose to the dizzy heights of FIAP World Club champions, a marvellous achievement for a relatively small indigenous club.  I was thrilled to have four images on the winning panel.
 
In 2011 I was awarded the MFIAP distinction after being nominated to apply by the Irish Photographic Federation. Today I divide my spare time between judging and lecturing to camera clubs and societies. To date I have amassed over 200 awards for my photography. 
 
Due to my success in FIAP and PSA competitions I’ve been honoured to judge and speak at major international salons such as the SAUD AL-THANI AWARD for photography and the TRIERENBURG SUPER CIRCUIT and also some of the UK and Ireland’s top salons.
 
I am currently a member of Drogheda Photographic Club where I continue to enjoy and share my photography
 
I’m delighted to be part of the Permajet Lecturers team and I have used and enjoyed their excellent products for many years. Anyone who would like to know more about the Permajet range of quality papers and products can contact me at gaboshoko@gmail.com

STATEMENT OF INTENT

Ten years ago I proudly showed my first old interior image to my aged mother and I was shocked by her reaction: she was horrified. “How could anyone find these images of hard times so appealing?”  It was this reaction that made me appreciate the true nature of what I was recording and drew me even closer to the subject.
One of ten children, my  mother  left such a cottage at the age of only 14 years to work in the city. One by one her siblings also left,  until like so many other  family’s,  only the parents remained.  Eventually the parents passed on,  the door was closed and the chapter ended.
As I dedicate this panel to my mother and her generation, I invite you the viewer to see past the texture, the composition and the peeling paint and view them as monuments to the lives lived therein.
