Shooting the Darkness

In the midst of Northern Ireland's tumultuous conflict, a group of unwitting war photographers captured the brutal reality of domestic terrorism and state repression, producing images that starkly exposed the suffering of ordinary people. From the 1960s to the 1990s, these untrained eyes saw what was happening in their own towns, snapping photos of violence, fear, and social prejudice. Their work is a powerful testament to the enduring impact of The Troubles on the lives of those who lived through it.
