This month’s cover is a pastiche of the “Doors of Dublin” poster and postcard, substituting its polished Georgian doors with doors to vacant buildings and makeshift homes.

T?his image is a pastiche of the popular touristic “Doors of Dublin” poster and postcard, substituting the polished, colourful Georgian doors with a sight currently all too common in Dublin: dilapidated and boarded-up doorways, indicating vacant or rundown properties, alongside tents and makeshift dwellings occupied by those desperately in need of a home. I hope the image speaks volumes about the current situation in Dublin.
I am a photographer mainly interested in people: their behaviour, interactions, impact on the planet and upon each other, or what is generally referred to as “the Human Condition”. You can see more of my work on my instagram account: @graham.martin.photo.
