Longford photographer is over the moon for upcoming exhibition
Michael Croghan is very excited to see his work exhibited locally
Longford photographer Michael Croghan is thrilled that his work is being exhibited locally and nationally this month.
Images from two of his new ongoing projects have been selected for two separate exhibitions.
Michael explained that a photo he captured at Croagh Patrick on Reek Sunday, where he credited faith as being central to his photographic career, was on display during the Dublin Street Photo Festival 2025.
He added, “I was among sixty finalists out of thousands in the single image category and it was a great honour to have my photo selected by Magnum photographer Martin Parr.”
Michael’s work was also on display during the local W.A.L Fest Print exhibition, exhibiting in the Temperance Hall, Longford on Sunday and Monday, May 4 and 5.
He outlined that his photo at W.A.L Fest was from ongoing peatland work featuring a Bord na Móna staff member planting Sphagnum Moss brought in from Scotland, to rehabilitate the local industrial harvested landscape.
Many people will remember Michael’s successful ‘A Portrait in Time’ exhibition from 2022 at the Providers Building.
