Featured photographers were:

 

Bill Doyle:

Bill Doyle is one of Ireland's best-loved photographers. His work has a lightness of touch, a warmth and humour that has earned him the title "Ireland's Cartier-Bresson". Bill was born in Dublin in 1926 and has lived here all his life. From an early age Bill was involved in photography, but it wasn't until after he won the Daily Telegraph Magazine Photographer of the Year Award in London in 1967, that he took up freelance photography as a fulltime career. He won this for a collection of photographs of the Aran Islands, many of which were included in the major retrospectiove held in the Gallery of Photography in 2007 and which toured to Ennis and to Inis Oirr in 2008. Doyle has won numerous awards and has exhibited his work in Japan, Germany, England, Australia and the USA. His books include The Aran Islands, Images of Dublin - A Time Remebered and Bill Doyle's Ireland.
