Photographer is David Monahan is creating a set of portraits of people who are set to emigrate. The Dublin photographer is putting together a project called “Leaving Dublin”. The shots consist of a nighttime scene taken in Dublin of various people from all walks of life: Irish-born, people who came during the boom years, and some who thought they’d be living in Ireland permanently.

“This is an art project with no intention other than to immortalize what is being lost to our country” Monahan says. This project will bring the topic of Emigration to the forefront of the visual arts and to Ireland in general.
