Fergus and David McGinn have just opened McGinn's on the Quay, Galway Harbour (formerly Sheridan's) as a new exhibition space, restaurant and bar. The opening exhibition 'Tube Dwellers and Others' is by internationally acclaimed corporate photographer Neil Warner.
A previous joint winner of the Towergate Fine Art Award, Europe's premier bursary for fine art photographers, Neil has also been awarded the title British Landscape/Travel Photographer of the Year.
In Ireland, his commercial work has won him the title Irish Commercial Photographer of the Year on three occasions and he is the only photographer to have won the award more than once.
His exhibition 'Tube Dwellers and Others' is a sampler from his vast collection of fine art imagery. In these images, Neil has withdrawn detail from the images, reducing them to their basic core. His imagery is bold, stark and colourful.
On the other hand, his collection 'Dark Connemara' is a series of monochrome images that capture the dark brooding light and cloudscapes of Connemara.
Most of his images in 'Dark Connemara' were shot within a 10km radius of Leenane and centre around the shores of Killary Harbour.
