Description

Shooting the Darkness presents the stories of leading photographers who captured some of the most important events of the Troubles. Based on the acclaimed RTÉ documentary, the book tells the stories behind iconic images, including Bishop Edward Daly waving a blood-stained handkerchief on Bloody Sunday, and the brutal attack of corporals Derek Wood and David Howes in March 1988. The photographers featured in the book, including Alan Lewis, Paul Faith, Martin Nangle, Stanley Matchett, Trevor Dickson, Hugh Russell and Crispin Rodwell, share their experiences of taking these photographs, including the challenges they faced and the emotional impact it had on them. This book provides a unique insight into the lives of those who documented one of the most tumultuous periods in Irish history. Through their stories, the photographers reflect on the photographs they took, and the consequences of their work. Shooting the Darkness is a powerful and thought-provoking book that sheds new light on a pivotal moment in Irish history.
