Photographer #193: Ross McDonnell

Tuesday, December 28, 2010
Ross McDonnell, 1979, Ireland, is a photographer and filmmaker. In his series Joyrider he documented the youngsters in Ballymun, a suburb of Dublin where the infra-structure is lacking, showing the transition of anti-social behaviour to criminality amongst the young people living in the shadows of these Ballymun towers. In the series Turkana, Ross focused on the impact of climate change on the people living in the Northwestern part of Kenya. In Turkana food-aid has become more reliable than farming. The following images come from the series Joyrider, The Afghans and Turkana.
