The Dublin Street Photography Festival 2025 has evolved significantly in its second year, now featuring a condensed but expanded program over three days in May. The festival showcases 270+ photographs, including outdoor exhibitions running for four weeks at Charlemount Square. Notable speakers include Martin Parr as the keynote, alongside other prominent photographers such as Dougie Wallace, Rami Narula, and Melissa O’ Shaughnessy. The event offers a mix of free and paid photo walks, multiple exhibitions highlighting Irish photographers, and receives support from major sponsors like McGarrell Reilly, Canon and Photo Museum Ireland.

The festival organizers, Paul Murry and Des Byrne, have focused on creating a world-class event that makes street photography accessible to the public while emphasizing originality and professional presentation. Their commitment to showcasing Irish photography alongside international work sets this festival apart, with special exhibitions featuring local talent and historical works. The condensed format aims to enhance networking opportunities among photographers while maintaining a comprehensive program of talks, walks, and exhibitions that celebrate street photography as an art form.
