This major retrospective celebrates over 40 years of work by acclaimed press photographer Declan Doherty, whose images have powerfully documented life across Donegal through his role at the Donegal News.
The exhibition includes more than 400 photographs, presented both digitally and in print, capturing moments from 1980 to 2023. Many feature the people and everyday events that define the county’s character and community.
Also featured are selections from two significant RCC art commissions: Building the RCC (20th anniversary series) and Imaging Donegal – N56, a major public art project. Notably, Doherty received the Press Photographers of Ireland (PPAI) Prize for ‘Best Feature’ in 2007. His photographs are widely published in local and national press, including on the front page of The Irish Times on multiple occasions.
Curated by former RCC Director Shaun Hannigan, this exhibition positions Declan Doherty as one of the most important visual chroniclers of Donegal life over the past four decades.
