The question I'll always my self coming from two cultures am I Libyan or will I ever be Irish enough
Look at the wording carefully because I'll always know I'm Libyan but I was born abroad
I was born in Ireland which makes me Irish but I'll never be seen as Irish Irish
With the on going harassment that is happening online against me shows how racism is developing in Ireland. Words taken out of context and change. Just a reminder Irish have faced racism through history but looks like we had forgotten are history. I am Irish and know my history
To him we belong and to him we return

Looking for people to take part in the LABELLED PROJECT. The idea of the project is showing the individual for who they are but then showing what they were racially labelled with. Ireland is the third highest country place in the EU where people get racially attacked.
Started my morning with experimenting with a new project with hiding the identity of those I interview... becoming a patern in my work of hiding the identity.... still not the shot I can imagine... digital pinhole was used
Some more test shoots using double exposure, handheld, flash and pinhole.
The best part of doing the R&D is the test shoots
Still got more shots to try :)
Official I've been commissioned by the

Hi, I will be giving a photography course for those that come from a migrant background in Ireland. The course will be done online through Zoom. Because some may not have a camera I will be focusing on the use of mobile phones and how to get a professional shot with a phone.

Im a Muslim women and I never see my religion like that every women I know of all ages are working are even cao of there own companies. I think you the way that needs to change your view and it u watched the video and analysised it probably you see her version of singing the atha
Going through the images I shot the other day found another like I like... Problem is can't rem how I took the shot since it was a pinhole camera.... Think took it hand held... Nothing beats late night printing
Typical white man saviour moment today. Had a meeting mentioned the fact that when niqabi women had visited the school she was refused entry his reasoning was because "it was a public space and that was the law apparently that faces needed to be shown"

With covid I have to try different ideas on how to get the project shot epically with not knowing how plans will work out
But also a way to make the person im shooting comfortable with telling thier narrative
Text is hidden :P but just for now
