Romantic Irish Homes

This book of stunning photographs is definitely on my gift-giving list this year. Romantic Irish Homes is the title of a Collection of Photographs by Simon Brown as part of an ongoing collaboration between Simon and writer Robert O’Byrne. Based in London, Simon Brown has been a regular visitor to Ireland for more than twenty-five years and has a particular interest in documenting Irish architecture and interiors to which he brings his unique sensibility and appreciation. In particular, Simon’s handling of light within images and his mastery of the still life form has consistently excited admiration and critical approval.

In this series of photographs, Simon has captured the distinctive character of the Irish house, large and small, urban and rural. All the pictures were taken over the past two years, during different seasons and at a wide variety of locations across
the country. Yet despite their diversity, they share the same quixotic character and an allure born out from Simon’s empathy with his theme.
