PAUL O'CONNELL PHOTOGRAPHY
Irish Photographer of the Year 2025
Winning first place in the BIPP’s International Print Masters 2025 in the architecture category is a huge honour, and I’m genuinely delighted. This photograph grew out of a lot of careful looking, until I found what I felt was right. Architecture has always interested me and being able to capture something in a single frame, and then have it resonate with others, means a great deal to me
I’m also incredibly grateful to my clients. Their trust, collaboration, and willingness to give me the freedom to explore their projects creatively is what makes images like this possible. Every commission becomes an opportunity to interpret a space in a new way, and that trust is something I never take for granted.
Having my work recognised by such a respected organisation such as the BIPP is both exciting and motivating. It encourages me to keep experimenting, refining my craft, and to continue celebrating the built environment with my photography. This award feels like a milestone, but it also gives me the encouragement to become a better architectural photographer.
