Arthur Fields (photographer)

Fields originally ran a sound studio where people could make a recording of their own voice, but later began his photography when he bought a box camera.

[1] Fields' extensive photographs are recognised as a social record of Dublin from the 1930s to the 1980s, depicting the changing fashions and shopfronts of the city.

[1] Notable people photographed by Fields on the bridge included the playwright Brendan Behan, the actors Margaret Rutherford and Gene Tierney, and Prince Monolulu, who claimed to be a chief of the Falasha tribe of Abyssinia, and who wore a headdress and a fur coat.

The web project which features an image archive and documentary videos won best website at the Digital Media Awards in 2015.

[7] Two books of Arthur Fields' photographs edited by Ciaran Deeney and David Clarke were published by Colins Press.
