Linda Brownlee

A lot has been said, reported written and told about Ireland in the last five years. Soundbites, headlines, rhetoric. A single phrase sums it up ‘We Are Where We Are’ – And still we’re left wondering ‘so where are we?’
This project was released over the course of a year with 12 small books.

Irish Photographer Linda Brownlee was born in Dublin in 1979. Since moving to London, her portrait, fashion and documentary work has featured regularly in publications such as Dazed & Confused, Vogue, the New York Times, The Guardian and Telegraph magazines. Brownlee’s photos have been exhibited at London’s National Portrait Gallery, the Gallery of Photography in Dublin, the Yinka Shonebare Space, Host Gallery, and the Nottingham Castle Art Gallery. She was recently invited to contribute to the World in London exhibition at the Photographers gallery. Drawn to subcultures and youth culture, Brownlee’s work manages to convey the unique energy of the many people and places she photographs. Her growing collection of relaxed and intimate portraits are suggested through a very natural and subtle composition.
