Eddy Bergmann
Eddy Bergman is an independent film maker whose first love has always been photography – specifically street photography.
Earlier this year, finding himself in Paris with his cameras and some free time, he decided to visit locations around the city that had been used in famous films, including Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain (Canal St. Martin and the Carousel near Sacre Coeur). There – and throughout Paris – Eddy captured scenes of a place that feels both contemporary and timeless.
Later, back in his studio, he applied his technical skills and knowledge of Adobe Lightroom to create a unique feeling in the photographs of the places he visited.Eddy lives in the no rthern part of The Netherlands and started out working with 35mm film in the mid 1980s. He has since converted to digital, and uses a Panasonic Lumix GH2 for his film and video work. Many of the Paris photographs were taken using a Panasonic Lumix TZ10 point and shoot camera. His work has won some awards in national competitions and he's worked with several renowned Dutch film makers.

From Irish artist Paul McCloskey, the "Lough Derg" Series
"I wanted to capture the movement, atmosphere and internal passion of the pilgrims as they pray for their own personal needs or indeed redemption and to create a sentiment of mystery and emotion." — Paul McCloskey
McCloskey’s earliest exhibition dates back to 1994, when his Lough Derg Series (featured here) became part of the Patrick Kavanagh Heritage Centre (County Monaghan) permanent collection. Kavanagh (1904-1967) was a poet and author of Lough Derg, a piece that he chose not to publish during his lifetime.
