BIG Congratulations to 2026 Graduates Susannah Williams & Patrick Zaidan on being Shortlisted for this Year's Sigma Talent Awards for Most Promising Photography Graduates at Photo Museum Ireland. In good company with BA & MA Graduates from programmes across the island. REALLY WELL DONE from all of us here!
"The Sigma Talent Artist Awards are designed to support artists at a pivotal stage in the development of their practice. Over the course of the programme, selected artists receive sustained curatorial guidance from Photo Museum Ireland’s team and invited guest mentors, alongside practical resources and opportunities to develop ambitious new work.

Following the shortlist stage, three artists will be selected for the 2026–27 programme. Each will receive a €2,000 development bursary and exclusive access to professional-grade Sigma equipment, supporting the production and development of their work throughout the residency.

The programme builds on Photo Museum Ireland’s long-standing commitment to emerging photographic practice and has been strengthened through our partnership with Sigma, bringing additional resources and professional support directly to artists.

The three recipients of the Sigma Talent Artist Awards 2026–27 will be announced later this year."

Just a little photo dump to remind ourselves about what we love about our course - its productivity & people. We register again tomorrow for 2026-27 terms and those incoming students to Year One have no idea how lucky they are to be at the start of this journey. Returning 2nd Years have no idea how much their practice is about to change over the coming months. Looking forward the year ahead. Still time to apply! See www.pearsecollege.ie for details.

At the start of our Level 5 Portraiture Workshops we high key make a low key declaration - 100 different types of lighting set-ups in Year One [Am, ya, sorry about that, too much time with the kids this summer!...] But, yes, punny stock phrases aside, in six months we manage it - we have a beautiful, large, adaptable busy Studio fit for multiple senarios, a darkroom studio for more delicate and low light senarios, gorgeous surroundings on campus - two Allotment spaces and Sundrive Park to the rear. We test ourselves on location, on the street and find the most awkward spaces to challenge ourselves in. We start with 1, 2, 3 and then multi flash senarios, off and on camera techniques. We teach everything from the more classic, traditional approaches to advanced, complex and nuanced kinds of image making. We go beyond the mandatory paramaters of what is normally required because we want the best for our students. Further Education is a smart choice for anyone who really wants to be a proper practitioner. This year we'll add more! Applications for BEGINNERS & ADVANCED. We could be your first big step into the practice or your next big step. People who just want to master their camera, or experienced practitioners who want to upgrade, evolve or learn new and more up-to-date skills. The practice keeps evolving, we evolve with it. Lots of new, additional and contemporary elements this year. Contact us for details, drop in to chat or come to any upcoming Open Days. Applications for Level 5 and for Level 6 course are open!

Delighted for three of our Graduates from this Year - Susanna, Patrick & Aaron - nominated for the Radar Awards from PhotoIreland. This is a fantastic opportunity for Photography & Visual Arts Graduates on the island of Ireland, providing a year long development residency to students from Diploma to Masters. Delighted that our course - a further education course - has yet again been considered by the team at .museum.ireland RADAR AWARDS. Best of Luck

That's it for our Graduate Exhibition 2026 and the end of the line for our 2nd Years. This is always the strangest moment - after all the energy, the creativity, the culture of work that was generated in this room over the last two years has been emptied out and the space is stripped of its personality. You all have been exceptional - so professional, so hard working, such inspiring people to work with and be around. You have all developed your own individual professional and creative identities with us over the last two years and the final products of your labour were just incredibly admirable - the exhibition, the websites, your books, your prints, your Portfolios. Its been a pleasure to watch your evolution as practitioners. Aaron, Patrick, Pat, Stephan, Jadwiga, Marta, Fintan, Paul, Svetlana, Susanna, Pawel - be proud! We will miss you here.
