In this series of photographs, mainly photographed in his hometown of Cork, Brendan Ó Sé presents Ireland as a place of transition, where fragments of the old and the new are found intersecting in fleeting encounters.

The tension of contemporary urban life is seen in solitude with the crowd, tradition reframed by modernity; the ordinary and the familiar become reframed through use of colour, reflection, and shadow.

In candid portraits in the series, Brendan seeks to reveal the layered nature of human presence, creating moments that oscillate between playfulness, melancholy, and unguarded truth.

While rooted in the practice of street photography, Brendan’s work presses against its boundaries, drifting towards abstraction, portraiture, or crafted scenes. The work reflects the uncertainty and vitality of Irish life in the early 21st century.

Brendan works with a range of image-capturing devices, mainly iPhone, and also Fuji and Nikon cameras.
